Quick Love Handle Workout




I have the love handles and the muffin top plus some!
There are so many different exercises out there that you can do.
Give some of these a try, it's a 10 minute workout, so you
can fit it into a busy schedule or add it to your routine.

Woodchoppers
You want to do 40 of these, 20 on each side.
Using on hand weight, stand with your feet hip
width apart with your weight on your left leg.
Start by holding the weight in both hands up by
your left shoulder. Next, twist to make a chopping
motion down towards your right hip. Allow your feet
and knees to pivot with the twist. Raise the weight
back up to your left shoulder, repeat for 20 reps and
then work on your right side.

Russian Twists
You want to do 50 of these, sit on your butt with your
knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Your torso should
be leaning back at a 45 degree angle to the floor.
Hold a dumbbell with both hands. Lift your feet from the ground,
crossing them at the ankles and balancing your butt.
From this position, twist your torso to the right and
touch your dumbbell to the ground next to your body.
Next twist back over to the left touching the weight
to the left side of your body. Repeat back and forth,
all while balancing with your legs and torso
raised off of the ground.

Side Plank Hip Lifts 
You want to do a total of 30, 15 for each side.
Get into a side plank position with your elbow on the
ground and your legs and hips resting on the ground.
Engaging your abs and keeping your body in a straight line,
raise the lower half of your body up off the ground into
a straight plank position. Lower again and repeat.

Bicycle Crunches
Do 30 of these, lie on your back with your knees bent
and our hands behind your head. Do not clasp your hands
together. Engage your abs, lifting your shoulders and
upper back off of the ground. At the same time, move
your right elbow toward your left knee so that they
meet in the middle of your body. Next switch your
position by bringing your left elbow to your right knee.
Continue as quickly as possible while still keeping your
torso raised up off the ground.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
