Every Tuesday on Facebook I like to post a "Torture of the Week." Selfishly, it motivates me. But mostly, because I love reading your comments. I love when you try the moves, and I laugh out loud at your jokes when you don't. Here is a little recap of the "Tortures" for the last month. Enjoy! (Or not! Lol! Smiley Happy


 Torture of the Week


This "Torture of the Week" is more of a challenge. Can you do pull-ups?! You might surprise yourself. I didn't think I could. I will admit that I jumped up for my first one, and I can't do a lot of them, but I can do some, and I think that's pretty good! So try it and see for yourself. If you can't do one right now, you can definitely work up to it. Let me know how it goes, and don't believe people who tell you you can't!!!!


 


Torture of the Week


This #TortureOfTheWeek is all core! Legs extended, in a "V-sit," hold a balance ball in between your feet. Hold a medicine ball with arms straight up. Keep the medicine ball in the air (straight up without going side to side), while you move the balance ball from side to side, touching down on each side. 10 total reps, for a circuit. That medicine ball in the center makes it much harder!!!


 


Torture of the Week


This Torture of the Week is another one where you just need a wall. Lay on your back, left knee bent and foot on the wall. Lift your right leg as high as you can, straight up, tensing all your core muscles. Hold for a beat, lower back down to the floor. 10 reps to a circuit. Try to get your body as vertical as possible in the lift.


I post new photos on Facebook every Tuesday. Also, don’t forget about The Lisa Robertson Show for QVC Plus/QVC.com. You can watch every episode that’s aired so far on QVC.com. Just search "LRS" then click on "Episodes." The new episode is available this Sunday.


See you soon!
