join me today for a 5-minute toned ab workout no equipment necessary hi I'm
Schellea and welcome to Fabulous 50's today's workout is only 5 minutes long
it's very very doable but it will give you results we don't need to be athletes
now we're over 50 but if you want to stay strong and fit and healthy we do
need to do some form of physical exercise every single day and if you're
new to the channel click subscribe and click the bell and you'll be alerted
every time there's a new video and they'll all relate to you now let's
start toning those ABS this is only going to take you 5 minutes start moving
your body side to side stretch it out getting the mood to exercise set an
intention for the workout strong fabulous fit healthy amazing stretch as
far as you can go side to side feel your body getting ready ok let's get started
in this exercise we're going to be dual tasking and what I mean by that is we're
going to do two things at once that's what we need to do as we're getting
older plus we're developing our balance and loss of balance as we age is the
leading cause of falls in older people
if we can increase our muscle mass now at our age we're going to reduce the
risk of falling by up to 50% and it's our job to get strong enough to prevent
those Falls from happening
lie flat on your back touch each foot with your fingers go
back and forth and make sure that your abs are very very tight and your back is
flat on the ground if you see yourself traveling and exploring and having
adventures as you get older you're going to do it with a lot more ease and
ability if you build your abs and that's why we're doing ab exercises if you can
develop your abs when you go traveling and exploring you can walk and walk and
walk all day and do whatever you like because you're going to have a strong
core which will give you a strong back which will give you much more endurance
to do all the things that you want to do
take a rest for a few more seconds and we're going to mini crunches
be very purposeful with this move don't do them quickly just think about each
muscle contracting as you go up and releasing as you come down
keep in mind all that traveling and exploring and fun you can have for the
rest of your life all you've got to do is keep your body strong if it gets a
bit challenging for you you can slow down but keep in mind the endgame you in
10 years time having the strength to do whatever you
want to do you're doing great keep going keep going keep going
done lying on your back arms out wide take your legs all the way down to the
left side and look to your right now change up bring your legs back and all
the way down to the right side and look to the left
sit in this position feet flat on the ground and you're putting all of your
strength here into the core not into your back and as you're holding onto
your ads very very tightly twist to each side keep your back straight keep going
hold your core in tight think about those ads if you want to be able to
reach high in cupboards and you know if you're on a plane and go into the cabin
above all those sorts of things if we're getting our ads strong now at our age
we'll be able to do that without any problem whatsoever as we're getting
older
lie flat on your back legs at a 90 degree angle tap your toe back up tap
down again hold in your core you know now how important it is we've got to be
doing this kind of thing every day even if it's just a couple of minutes while
you're watching TV the benefits are massive think about it whatever we do
today right now and every single day is going to give us the results that we've
planned for in advance in ten years time twenty years time if you want to be able
to do everything that you can do right now we've got to keep working on our
strengths and our core strength is so important
pull your knees in again take a stretch
stretch time we're doing some more Qi Gong which is so beneficial and so
wonderful and so easy to do so just swing side by side it's resetting your
body back into alignment and just take this moment now to set an intention for
the kind of day that you'd like to have save this workout to your own playlist
