Good morning! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Did you keep up with your healthy habits on the weekend? Now, it is time to get the week started with a warm up! After the weekend, you might prefer Jumping jacks or squats , maybe both? π How about 5 minutes of Butt Kicks to get the bodies engine going?
Butt Kicks– Starting in a standing position, run in place or if you have enough room go forward about 20 ft. and alternately swing the heel of each foot up to the butt. The back is straight, use a smooth swinging motion that is produced at the knee joint. Chest over toes, Arms pumping. Continue for just 5 minutes and you will definitely be ready for the day! Of course this is a good start to the day, but we want to continue with our regular fitness routine as well.

A kick in the butt! That sounds like a great way to get myself moving!
And…the weekend was great – lots of exercise, and it felt good!
Have a great week!
You have something I can really do and may need. A self help kick in the butt may get the week going. π
I did my jumping jacks this morning, so now I’ll try a kick in the butt. Love it……………:)
i”ll be doing squats later on today!
Another interesting exercise Mark. Sounds great. I think we all need a good kick in the butt sometimes. Loved the Calvin comic too.

Our cross-country coach used to make us do these across a field. I definitely prefer it to high knees!
Between your butt kicks, and Charlotte’s kicking butt, I have a lot on my plate this morning π
I used to do these kinds of kicks in Track. You are taking me down memory lane. I haven’t done butt kicks in a while, maybe it is time for me to do them again. π
Hahaha good stuff. HEART Calvin & Hobbes. And Woody Allen is so right.
ooo my Gosh too funny I started doing this in my kickboxing class with my students!!! High Knees is a good one too!
I’d like to kick someone’s butt!
how did you I know I needed a kick in the butt?
Sounds doable.
Weekend was good even if a little over-indulgent. π
Good idea for variety. I can’t say I’ve ever done it on purpose.
Thanks
