Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹ The squat is an important staple exercise for the lower body and can be performed in many different versions with or without weight. ⬇️ Before adding weight though, it is important to learn the proper movement pattern to prevent pain & injury later on! ⬇️ In the first video, you'll see how NOT to squat! My knees hurt just filming those couple of reps πŸ˜‚πŸ˜¬πŸ˜¬πŸ˜¬ ⬇️ In the second one, we'll look at how to do it properly! 😊😊
Happy Tuesday! ⬇️ Here are two leg exercises you can do at home, with or without equipment. In addition to working your legs, both of the exercises will also challenge your balance! ⬇️ 1. Curtsy lunge into leg abduction: 10-15 slow and controlled reps each side ⬇️ 2. Heel raise into sumo squat: 10-15 slow and controlled reps 😊😊😊
Hello Instagram, it's been a long time! 🌼 My resolution to focus more on my instagram and blog again this year went out the window pretty quickly, as I started a new job that has been taking up a lot of my time. 🌼 I love my job and have already learned so much since I started, but for a moment there I let myself forget about my personal goals: to build something of my own, and of course to provide all of you with information you can use to live more active, healthier lives. 🌼 Needless to say, I'm back! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ
Happy New Year everyone! 😊 Just a little reminder that there's no need to have given up on your 2019 goals by February. ⬇️ The key to sticking to your goals longterm is to break them down & make them small and ACHIEVABLE! ❗ For example: If your goal is to lose weight, how do you get there? ⬇️ By moving more & paying attention to your nutrition. πŸ’‘ So your (example) first small & achievable goals could be: In January, cut down soda intake to 1 can a week and work out/take a long walk 2x/week. πŸ™ƒ Small goals like these are SPECIFIC, therefore easy to keep track of, and easy enough to achieve. They won't intimidate you, won't wanna make you give up, and by sticking to them you are taking small steps towards your bigger goal of weight loss! πŸŽ‰ What are your goals for the new year?
Don't skip stretching! πŸ™ƒ It's the easiest thing to skip if you finished a hard workout and just want to go home as quickly as possible. πŸ™ƒ But stretching regularly has a ton of benefits. It will keep you flexible and able to move through the full range of motion in your strength workouts. By doing that, it can also help prevent injuries and improve performance. πŸ™ƒ It's also extremely relaxing and calming, and a great way to relieve stress. πŸ™ƒ After your workout (especially cardio based workouts like running/cycling/cross trainer where you don't move through the full range of motion) or after a warm-up if you didn't work out, get a mat, turn on your favourite music, film or series, and spend a couple of minutes stretching. You'll leave feeling veeery relaxed and at peace with the world! 😊
You don't need fancy equipment or expensive gym clothes to get moving! πŸ™‚ Anything comfortable and stretchy will do just fine. πŸ™‚ Don't keep yourself from doing something for your health, just because you might not have the coolest sports bra, the latest style of leggings, or maybe you don't feel comfortable walking around in just a sports bra at all (I don't)! πŸ™‚ Work with what you have and what you feel comfortable with, just get moving!
