The Daily Workout
I'm at that phase where my metabolism is slowing down and I find myself burdened with a bloated belly after downing just two slices of pizza. Gone were the days when I could finish off half a box of Yellow Cab's 18 inch pizza and still have a flat tummy. I thought I'd be thin forever no matter what I ate so I never gave much thought to exercise.When I started noticing that my metabolism was slowing down and my movements felt really sluggish. I went to Gold's Gym. All I did was attend their dance classes which I really enjoyed (Zumba, Belly Dance and Street Dance). But the commute is too time consuming and I felt like the membership fee was taking its toll on my pocket. I went for the cheaper alternative - youtube exercises which I can easily do at home.
THE TOOLS
The boyfriend got me a blue yoga mat, an exercise ball and a pair of blue 3lb dumbells from Toby's Sports which makes exercising at home so much easier.

THE EXERCISES
I've been doing this 10 minute ab exercise 3-4 times a week. It doesn't get easier no matter how long you've been doing it (except for the side planks, those are my favorite).
This workout for the arms, I really like. It isn't too difficult either but you definitely feel the burn. I do this after the 10 minute ab workout.
This "Victoria's Secret: Runway Ready" workout, I really really hate because it made me realize how weak my legs are. Plus I find lunges really difficult let alone do reverse lunges. I only started this today but definitely need to keep doing it to work on my leg strength.
This is my favorite core exercise which I outgrew because I've been doing it for 2 months and it got boring so I switched to the other three workouts.
P.S. Don't forget to do stretching exercises before the workout and cool down exercises after.
