Snooki's Workout

It's no secret that I secretly want to be Snooki Pollizi from the Jersey Shore. Ok, maybe not EXACTLY like her.  But on a recent episode I noticed that Snooks is definitely starting to workout a lot more than past seasons.  So I did a little online research and found her new workout for this season in Florence.

Here is what Snookie did to get in shape for the current season:

• 30 minutes of rigorous cardio
• Ball Squat (3 sets of 25) – Stand with a stability ball on your lower back, and the wall keeping the ball suspended. Use the ball as a leverage, perform a standard squat but with the ball.
• Standing Ball Side Flexion (3 sets of 25 each side) – With the exercise ball on the floor, place your left hip as you face sideways, and your body parallel to the ground. Your knees should not touch the floor, and keep your hands on your head. Tilt your body 45 degrees upwards, and return to the starting position.
• Side Leg Lifts (3 sets of 25 each leg) – Lie down on the floor, facing sideways. With your legs straight, lift your upper leg to the air, and back down.
• Pot Stir (3 sets 15 times clockwise, 15 times counter-clockwise) – With the exercise ball on the floor, face down and place your elbow on the ball and hands clasped. Keep your knees above the ground and straighten your body. Move your arms clockwise (or counter-clockwise), like stirring a pot.
• Side Planks (3 sets of 30 seconds each side) – Similar position to the side flexion, place your elbow on the floor facing sideways. Keep your arm steady and your body straight for 30 seconds.
• Ab Crunches (3 sets of 25)
  
• Bird Dogs (3 sets of 25 hold for 15 seconds each time)
  – The term says it all, a combination of bird and dog movements. Kneel down and put your hands on the floor, like a dog on all fours. Then, simulate a flying movement, where you lift your left arm forward and your right leg back simultaneously.
