I’ve been getting requests for a warm-up video. Your wish is my command (link in bio).😘 Are you tempted to skip your warm up? Sometimes I am too! I just want to get to the nitty gritty workout! However, by skipping warm up we skip a very important part of our exercise routine.8 Reasons why we should warm up:1) Warming up helps break down the chemical complex of oxygen and enhances delivery to the muscle.2) Reduces the potential for muscle and connective injuries, which are total bummers and can take you out of the fitness game for a while.3) Increases blood flow to exercising muscles. The more blood that reaches the muscles, the easier the delivery of nutrients required for energy production.4) Increase blood flow to the heart. More blood to the heart means a reduced risk for exercise-induced cardiac abnormalities.5) Enhances the speed of transmission of nerve impulses. Motor faculties improve greatly when you're warmed up. Hello enhanced performance!6) Increases elasticity of muscles and connective tissue, which means better performance and reduced chance of injuries.7) Prepares the cardiovascular system for impending workload. Helps the heart and blood vessels adjust to the body's increased demands for blood and oxygen.8) Warming up may reduce the likelihood of excessive muscle soreness.Okay, okay, lecture over. That was for myself too. wink emoticon Now for the warm-up!

Move of the Week: Sculpt tight abs with the Twisted Knee Tuck! For strong and defined abs you need to extend, flex, and rotate, and this move does all of these. To SEE those strong abs, you’ve got to reduce fat and this move will help with that since it uses more muscles than just the abdominals, therefore burning more calories. It even gives you a bit of an upper body and lower body workout. Score! Throw 3 sets of 12 reps of these bad boys into your next workout. Technique: 1) Begin in a full plank position, feet on gliders. If you don’t have gliders, you can use 2 small towels (hard surface) or paper/plastic plates (carpeted surface). 2) Ensure that your hands are lined up under your shoulders and your core is engaged. 3) Rotate your hips to the left, keeping your legs together and in a fluid motion press the balls of your feet into the floor as you pull both knees toward your left elbow. Hold for 2 counts. 4) Continuing to press down with the balls of your feet, return back to plank position. Repeat on the right side. That’s one rep. Tips: 1) Pushing the balls of your feet into the floor creates more resistance and engages the core more, which increases the intensity and effectiveness of the move. 2) Try doing this move with your feet up on a Swiss ball!

Sooooooo, I filmed a

Do Anywhere Workout

Posted on by j

Sooooooo, I filmed a “Do Anywhere” workout on the lakeside dock while on vacation in #canada but the sound was terrible and it had running commentary from my 5 year old (bottom right corner) throughout. Sigh. 😢 So I’ll re-film but here is a teaser photo. It’s an AMRAP and you can do it anywhere – no equipment needed. It’s a great hotel room or travel workout.
