Good Form

Fitness Tip: Good Form - Good form is important throughout the entire workout, not just during the exercise. Dropping a weight on your foot is not only embarrassing in a crowded health club, it will definitely put you out of commission for a while. Use your legs when lifting a weight off the ground or loading up a barbell for a set. Maintain support in your abdominals and lower back. The same goes for picking up a bag of groceries, a stuffed suitcase, or a toddler.

Exercise of the day: Band Standing Leg Extension
- The Band Standing Leg Extension will hit your lower body with the use of fitness bands to give you strong toned leg muscles.

Don’t get stuck in a cardio rut

Fitness Tip: Don’t get stuck in a cardio rut - Try something new! Besides being a great cardio workout, a rowing machine uses many different muscle groups including abs, back, chest, arms, hips, glutes and legs. Remember to start slow, strap in your feet, draw in your abdomen, and maintain good posture throughout the movement.

Exercise of the day: Ball Spine Stretch - The Ball Spine Stretch will work and stretch your entire back region with the help of your stability ball for support.

Don’t Be Fooled

Fitness Tip: Don’t Be Fooled – Always be suspicious of celebrity endorsements of home equipment that promise a total body workout in minutes a day. The celebrities and models that you see in the commercials got in that condition with months or years of hard training. If the product is new, it is impossible to build a fantastic physique in such a short time span. Celebrities are paid very well to market those products because of their public influence. Many of them actually have a stake in the company. I’m not knocking anyone’s hustle, but I want you to be aware.

Pace yourself for Weight Loss

Fitness Tip: Pace yourself for Weight Loss – Eat a small meal and wait 20 minutes before deciding if you need more food. This will give your stomach and brain time to communicate. If have eaten enough food, your brain will alert your body and you will find that you don’t desire anything more. If you are still hungry after this period, eat a small amount more and wait another 20 minutes.

Exercise of the day: Ball Reverse Curls – The Ball Reverse Curls provides another way to help develop and strengthen your very important core region of your abdominal area.
