I know that running is one of the easiest high-calorie burning exercises out there, so am hoping that it comes easier once I’ve lost a little more weight.

Start seated on the floor w/knees to chest and hands locked under knees - bring feet up off the floor until legs are vertical (body forms a very narrow V shape) - release hands and keeping back and legs straight, lower them towards the floor (body forms a very wide "V" shape, almost parallel to the floor) - keeping back and legs straight, bring them back up (return to very narrow V shape) - repeat for 3 sets of 15 reps.Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136973764256658305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-46551319645391067332010-01-19T05:18:00.876-06:002010-01-19T05:18:00.876-06:00Hey Shelley!

With that said, I desperately need this book to help me kick start my workout routine. I really like to workout (I know, you don't hear that too often), but I have just gotten out of the habit in the past few months. This book sounds like an excellent tool to help me restructure and recommit.
