1. The Toothbrush Workout

    For those of you who are trying to tone up but can’t find time to visit the gym (or as in my case, use that as an excuse) I have the solution for you:

    Toothbrush Workout

    Two months ago I realized that instead of standing there, staring at the mirror while I brush my teeth, I could incorporate exercise. Here’s what I ended up doing every day since:

    • While flossing your teeth, stand on your tippy-toes. (Hello, calve muscles!)
    • 10 side leg lifts (LEFT)
    • 10 back leg lifts (LEFT)
    • 10 side leg lifts (RIGHT)
    • 10 back leg lifts (RIGHT)

    Benefits: With 2 tooth-brushings a day, this adds up to 80 leg lifts a day, or 560 a week! Also, you can get your two minutes of brushing in without even realizing it.

    • As I got used to this routine, I would add more leg lifts. For example, a few weeks ago I moved up to 15 side, 15 back (or 120 a day). Last week, I increased the back leg lifts to 20 each (total 140 a day). 

    Quite entertaining, to say the least! I’ve begun to see my leg muscles coming out of hiding, just in time for Spring.
