Tone Up For Summer

Marching In A Bridge by Certified Personal Trainer Jennifer Ledford - Core Exercises - Tone Up

Do you want to tone up for summer and build a stronger core?  If so, I’ve got you covered.  🙂

The exercise video below features an advanced version of the bridge.  If you’ve been doing bridges for a while and they are getting easy for you, this exercise will help you take your core routine to the next level.  If you’re just getting started then I recommend you start with a basic bridge. If that’s you, then scroll down to the second video.  You can start there and then work your way up to the more advanced bridge.

Two of my favorite things about bridging exercises are you don’t need any equipment and you can pretty much do them anywhere.  That’s a winning combination when it comes to weaving exercise into your lifestyle.

Enjoy the videos and have a fun and fit week!

With Love,
Jennifer


 


 

Toe Taps: A Simple Ab Exercise

Toe Taps - An Easy Exercise You Can Do To Feel Good and To Look Slimmer by Jennifer Ledford

It’s no secret that it’s important to strengthen your abdominals.  Strong abdominals help support your back, look more toned, and can even improve posture.

However, I know you are busy and it can be tough to find time to exercise.  Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

In today’s video I share a VERY effective abdominal exercise that you can perform almost anywhere.  No equipment and no gym needed!  🙂

I recommend watching the video even if you are exercising regularly.  It’s always good to add variety to your routine and to know some exercises you can perform while you are traveling.  And remember, if you are more advanced you can always up the reps.  🙂

Enjoy the video and have a great week!

How To Strengthen The Quads and Hip Flexors

How To Strengthen The Quads & Hip Flexors

When you hear the words “the core” the abdominal muscles are usually the first thing that will come to a person’s mind. While the abs are certainly a major player when it comes to supporting the trunk, there are other muscles that play an important role as well. One of these muscle groups is the hip flexors.

In today’s video I share a simple exercise that helps strengthen the quads and hip flexors. Strong hip flexors help keep your pelvis stable and your spine in proper alignment. Proper alignment helps you maintain good posture which will result in a leaner look. One of the easiest ways to look like you’ve lost a few pounds is to simply stand up straight!

I recommend you take a moment to watch the video and save it for future reference. The exercise doesn’t require any equipment so you can perform it almost anywhere which makes it really easy to fit into a busy day.

Here’s to a healthy, happy, and super fit week!

With Love,
Jennifer Ledford
