Personal Trainer Exercise Tips!

10/27/2014

0 Comments

 
We asked our Personal Trainer of the Month, Kirsten, what her favorite exercises...check them out below!

Number 1: The Burpee
This is a TOTAL Body move that works your legs, arms and core all while getting your heart rate up for some cardio. 
There are ways to modify if you ever need to do so but don't worry you will still be working hard. 

Number 2: The Squat. 
The squat is very basic but very beneficial. This exercise works your hamstrings, glutes and quads. There are many variations to the squat making it an exercise for everyone. Adding any type of weights (barbell, dumbbells, kettle bells)  can always give you that extra challenge in your workout. 



Number 3: The plank 
This is known for its core work but can be considered a total body move. However, I do love its core benefits. 
**Remember- flat back, bottom down and core engaged to get the full effect of the plank. 
For more information about these exercises, or for information on training with Kirsten, give us a call at 901-522-1559!

     I look at food a little differently---Whether you want to call it Clean, Whole 30, or Paleo, this recipe adheres to it all and just in time for fall! 

     Fall brings football and football brings lots of food--one popular being pizza but here is my different take on pizza....
Don't knock it till' you try it.

10/3/2014

0 Comments

 
If you haven't ever tried the TRX bands, here is a great way to build your body weight strength. This exercise works your back and biceps.
Tips: 1. Start with your arms straight and your body in a straight line, then pull yourself towards the band using your back letting your elbows meet your sides. 

2. The farther away your feet are from you, the harder it is.

3. A harder progression of this exercise would be with your feet elevated and your body parallel to the floor.
