for the PINK march break contest (:

Hey girls, i decided i'd try my hand at making tips! I have a bunch of ideas and would love to share them with you :*
 
So if you're like me and have been wanting to get in shape foe summer/school/important day/party/{insert any reason here} you've been scouring the polyvore tip pages looking for the best workout tips.
 
What I've created here is an easy, no-equipment workout that you can do daily to get fit and toned for any event*.
 
Do this once a day for optimal results. I suggest combining it with daily cardio as well.
 
- THE WORKOUT -
 
50 Sit-ups
25 lunges (on each side)
100 squats
2 minute plank
2 minute wall sit
20 horizontal leg lifts (on each side)
50 Sit-ups
 
Best results if you don't take breaks in between, but if you have to take a 15 second one between each.
 
The moves explained ~
 
o1. Sit-up.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows what a sit-up is, but just in case ... (; To do a sit up you lie on your back with your knees bent. Without using your arms, lift your upper body all the way to your knees, and slowly back down. Repeat. Essential for a flat tummy.
*** Don't mistake this for a crunch, where you only lift your shoulders off the ground***
 
o2. The Lunge.
Stand with your feet together and hands on your hips. Take a step forward with one leg, and bend it to a 90 degree angle. Lean into but not so much that your other leg touches the ground. Stand up, and return to the staring position. Repeat with other leg. Perfects your thighs and butt.
 
o3. The squat.
Stand with your feet shoulder length apart. Slowly lower yourself as if you were sitting on a chair with your legs spread apart (awkward (; ) Be sure to keep your back strait. Lower yourself as far down as you can go without moving your feet. Stand back up. Repeat. Works your thighs and tones your bootie.
 
o4. The plank.
Lie on the floor. Put your fore arms underneath your arms, and lift yourself up. Keep your butt up, and back strait. If you can only do 1 minute to begin with, work yourself up to 2. You can really feel this in your arms, ABS, and back of your legs.
 
o5. The wall sit.
This one will make you scream murder. Same as the plank, if you can't do 2 minutes work yourself up. But try your hardest. Lean back against a wall as if you are sitting on an invisible chair. Hold. This is defiantly for the thighs.
 
o6. Horizontal leg lifts.
Lie on your side one the floor. Put a hand on your hip, and raise your top leg as high as it can go towards you in a fast, fluid motion. Immediately lower back down to about 2 " off the floor. Repeat until you are done the said amount of sets, the switch to the other leg. Works your inner thighs and sides {good bye love <3 handles!}
