Try something new

Leave a comment

We all get into a routine or pick exercises we like but the way to results is to push yourself to a new limit! 👊
Many gyms offer all sorts of classes, no harm in trying one out. You may find a new passion! If you don’t like it, try a different one. ✔✔ Whether it’s yoga,  pilates,  kick boxing or a spin class the variation will target your muscles in a different way. 💪💪💪
I did my first spin class today and it was tough🔥🔥🔥.  Am I gonna go back?  Definitely. I’ll try to improve and get better each time.  Don’t think you’ll be a pro right away, work into the class and I bet you’ll see the results in your body and the way you feel!

Yes, I do

I got married in July and like most women wanted to make sure everything looked perfect.  I take a lot of pride in my physique because I work and have worked really hard to stay in shape over the years. I played sports in high school and I stay really active in college. It was post college I really began to learn more and more about fitness. The time was right when I moved to Texas to take a personal training course so it was about 5 months after I got my certification I got engaged and about 6 months after that, the big day. My personal motto is if you stay in shape you’ll never need to “get” into shape. I like to keep active so I don’t have to do any crazy diets or 2-a-days to get bikini ready, class reunion ready or in this case wedding ready.

I did want to target certain areas, mainly my arms and back. I’ll post some of my wedding workouts and moves I found most effective!

Check back for wedding workouts plus anything and everything fitness.

Tuesday Technique: Bulgarian Lunge

Leave a comment

Often referred to as the Bulgarian split squat or rear foot elevated split squat.

This effective move trains each leg independently making it a unilateral leg exercise.

The Benefits

  1. Like squatting, this move can produce noticeable muscle and strength gains
  2. Less weights on joints than squatting but allows you to see similar muscular results.
  3. Increases flexibility of the hip flexors and improves overall lower body mobility
  4. Improves both core strength and balance
  5. Helps with agility
  6. Adds variety and targets both legs differently helping to even out the legs unlike squats where one side can compensate for the other.

Add this to your leg workout and see the difference!
