Healthy Fitness Challenge: Week 1, Day 4

Every weekday, join "The Mo'Nique Show" on a 12-week workout program with Hollywood trainer Jeanette Jenkins.

Inspiration/Motivation Tip: Your imperfections make you perfect! Find the beauty in the characteristics that make You “uniquely” You!
Workout: Back, Bi’s, and Thighs (Interval or Circuit format to keep your heart rate elevated); Core; Stretch-it-Out

Exercise of The Day: Full Body Abdominal V-Up – Work your abs against the weight of your legs and your arms with this full body v up.

Exercise Tip: Make sure you always pull your navel towards your spine when you’re doing abdominal work. Don’t push your abs out. Learning to pull your abs “in” is a motor control that you also want to do throughout the day. This will help you achieve a flat stomach and support your lower back.
