Hi Phensters,

This is the new "Spare Tire" challenge. In this challenge we are going to try to loose belly fat and build up muscles in this area. You´ll see it’s listed in this forum’s brand new calendar feature. Everybody is welcome to join.

Before you start I suggest you measure your waist. Then, from Wednesday 5th September, for the following two weeks we are going to do a specific daily exercise to trim up our figures.

For this easy exercise you will need a full 5 liter water bottle and a table. Here’s how to do it:

1. Put the bottle on the edge of table and stand with your back to it with your hands at the same level as the bottle.

2. Turn to the left by swiveling your hips only. Your feet should not move. Pick up the bottle with both hands and slowly bring the bottle all the way around in front of your body, swiveling to the right to finally place the bottle back on the table.

3. Turn again to the left and pick up the bottle, slowly bring the bottle in front of you, turning to the right and put the bottle back onto the table. Repeat this action for 3 minutes.

4. Now relax. Slowly stretch your arms above your head and then stretch them down to your feet. Repeat 5 times.

5. Repeat stages 2 – 3 but in the opposite direction. i.e pick the bottle up by swiveling to your right and then replace it on the table by bringing it in front of you and turning to the left. Repeat the action for 3 minutes.

Please make sure that all your actions are slow and smooth whilst doing this exercise to avoid hurting yourself.

Please post your progress!
Susanne.
