Exercise of the Week: Standing Crunch

Exercise of the Week: Standing Crunch __________________ Rectus Abdominus: Primary System Used Definition of the Rectus Abdominus: The rectus abdominus muscle is a paired muscle running vertically on each side of the anterior wall of the abdomen. There are two parallel muscles, separated by a midline band of connective tissue called the linea alba. It extends from the pubic symphysis/pubic crest inferiorly to the xiphoid process "Be The Change..."	Because we know that a lot of the abdominal work taught at the end of our classes can be sacrificed when babies start to get fussy, let's try to incorporate some core work into the body of our classes. The standing crunch is a very easy way to accomplish this task. Start with arms over head, knees soft and core engaged. Bring rib cage to hips bones as the arms come forward (almost like you are throwing a ball overhead). Your clients need to really pay attention to that abdominal contraction and make sure it is the core making the movement happen, not the arms. Feel free to take the intensity up by lifting one foot off the ground for a balance challenge! CLICK HERE to watch a video of this exercise! CUES: Keep knees soft. Keep shoulders depressed and retracted Focus on the stability and strength of the core BREATHE MODIFICATIONS: For a less intense version keep both feet on the ground and take out the balance element. The Prenatal "WHY" of this exercise: This exercise works on core strength in the vertical position. Working on the pregnant core is vital to spine stability and the functionality of motherhood. This is a great opportunity for both! _____________________________________

First Craft Fair of the Season for BePe Baby

our first fair of the season was wet and cold. It poured on us for all but an hour. We were drenched and our items were all damp by the end of the day. Our tent actually was picked up and floated away 2 feet during a pick up of the wind. We threw in the stakes after that episode.

After a long wet day with few shoppers we headed home. We did manage to sell some things and at least we didn't lose money. Today, of course, is sunny and beautiful out! Ahh well. Can't win em all.

Lots and Lots of Grammies

During a trip to visit my grandmother today. My mother also came up for a visit and we all had lunch. When we were leaving Logan and Landon were waving good bye in the car and Logan suddenly realized he had more then one grammy in front of him. He pipes up from the back seat with "Lots of Grammies!!!"

One of Logan's favorite shows is "Lots and Lots of Trucks" Some random infomercial purchase that he had to have. One of those shows that he watches over and over and over and over and over. That is all it is. Trucks of all kinds rolling by on the screen to this tune. The chorus is of course "Lots and Lots of Trucks".

So as we are rolling out of the driveway Logan starts singing "Lots and Lots of Grammies."

So I am all thinking he is the smartest kids in the world to come up with that! Then on a ride to the store later this conversation happens.

Me: Logan, what's your name?(notice the big hint he got?)
Logan: Logan
Me: How old are you?
Logan: WILFINTAN!!!!!
Me: No, How Old Are you?
Logan: I free
Me: Where do you live?
Logan: WILFINTAN!
Me: Good!!! What is your name?
Logan: I Free
Me No, What is your name?
Logan WILFINTAN!!
Me: No, no. Your name is Logan
Logan: I free
Me: Ok

Now I am put right back in my place. Sort of reminds me of that commercial about saving for college for your kids.. Something like 75% of people think their children will get scholarships. The father is watching a spelling bee on tv (while thinking his kids is the smartest there is). he turns to see his son spinning in circles with a box on his head while some girl on tv successfully spells a word I have never even heard. We better start saving ;P

Tornado Warnings

We had tornado warnings tonight and we talked about it in front of the kids.

Logan then for the rest of the night kept saying "Where the tontado go?" So cute! I love their little approximations!

Landon's favorite is "caca milk" and "bink" umm I an thinking you guessed but if not Chocolate milk and drink.

Increase your size today!! REALLY? I can't wait!

How many emails do I really need that tell me they can help increase my manhood, give me a larger penis, help me impress the ladies, size really does matter..etc?!?!

I don't need to increase my penis size. In fact, last I checked I didn't even have a penis.

On the other hand, if I did have a penis I might buy into some of these. I do tend to buy into weight loss products in phases. So I suppose if I was a man I would worry less about my weight and worry more about my penis size. But really. Do men buy this stuff?

Itchy Bum - Logan Fun

Itchy bum!

Logan fun!

I caught the little guy itching his bum (read shoving his fingers in his crack). So as any good mom would I say "Ewwwwww, now you have poopie fingers! let's go clean them". I walk into the room to first wipe him bum clean and change his underpants. I get the wipes and yell to him. "Let's go that is gross you have poopie hands!" He comes bounding in after me skipping and hopping and yells, with a huge grin,"I do!!!!" all the while holding both hands out in my face. Motherhood certainly has some funny moments that I never foresaw.

I am a MOM!

Given the choice tonight to go to a BBQ party and drink beer with friends Or sit on my ass and recover from last nights wine and pedicures. I chose to sit home. So here I am sitting on the couch, writing this post and watching "Whale Wars".

This life style makes me really miss good TV. "House" is my absolute favorite show EVA!!! 37 days till it is back on!
