Get a body like Lady Gaga: Thighs
must be nice!
Here are my favorite thigh exercises that will have your thighs burning for days!
I have no idea what this move is called so I’m going to name it the “high heels”Go on your HIGHEST pair of heels (like 6 inchers) then sink down until your thighs catch.
Practice holding this move while squeezing your inner thighs together, make sure your hips are tucked under.
hold for 30-60 seconds
Do this at home using a bar stool.
*BBF TIP: the higher the heels the thinner the thighs
Thigh dancing: 
A day of salads
Get a body like lady gaga
Besides her ah-mazing performance at the Grammy’s, I noticed she also had some pretty sick abs
I mean…
Lady gaga’s body doesn’t come naturally, she works hard at it…duh. Here are some of my favorite exercises that I’ve learned from taking barre classes that will help sculpt and tone your body and make people go gaga for your hot bod!
Everyday I will post my favorite exercises that are easy enough to do at home.
Let’s start with everyone’s favorite, Abs!
Planks: The key to this exercise is to make sure your back is as flat as possible, hands underneath your shoulders, ribs close together, feet extended and inner thighs zipped. Hold for 30 seconds.
For an extra challenge:
lift your right leg hold for 5 seconds, then do tiny pulses (10 times)
do the same with your left legSide Plank:
Lie on your side with your right hand on the ground. Lift yourself up to form a plank with your right forearm on the ground and your left hand on your side. Remember to keep your body in a straight line tightening your ab and tush muscles.
Extra challenge: lift your left leg so your right leg and right arm are your only support. OUCH! hold for 30 seconds
C-Curve:
Sit on the floor with your knees bent. Round your back making sure your navel is in towards your spine and abdomen is scooped in.
Now, lower your abdomen so that the waistline of your pants are on the floor (see below). Move your abdomen 1 inch lower and then back up again- that is 1 rep, try doing 30 reps. As you lower make sure you are rolling your body as if it were a yoga mat.
TIP: As you exhale, draw your navel even closer to your spine so that your hips are tucked under.
here I am explaining c-curve to my friends
oye
Try these ab workouts at home OR take a Barre Bee Fit class. You won’t be disappointed!
Let me know if you have any questions about any of these ab exercises.
Have a great day!
Snowy Guacamole Part 2
More snowy pics…Grace jumping in the snow
go grace go!
to go in, or not to go in?
Since I’ve been camping out at my parents house for the past two nights, I decided to make them dinner starting with my homemade guacamole.
I was able to find perfectly ripe avocadosHomemade “Snowy” Guacamole
- 2 ripe avocados halved, seeded, and peeled
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp of finely chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp of salsa
- 1 tsp of red pepper flakes
In a large bowl take the scooped avocado and lime juice, toss together to coat (this will prevent the avocados from turning brown). Add the garlic, salt, pepper, cilantro, salsa, and red pepper flakes. Since I like my guac chunky, I take a sharp knife and slice through the avocados until they are finely diced, then toss all the ingredients together. Make sure to taste for salt and pepper!
Also, a perfect dip for super bowl Sunday!!!!!
Have a great day!
