Three Different Bridges To Strengthen Your Core

Three Bridges To Strengthen Your Core

One of the most popular exercises to help build a strong core is the “Bridge.”  It’s shared by trainers and physical therapists often because most people can safely perform bridges and the exercise doesn’t require any equipment.  That’s a winning combination when it comes to weaving exercise into your daily life.

Today’s video features three different bridge exercises.  If you’ve been doing bridges for a while and they are getting easy for you, this “series” can help you take your core routine to the next level.  If you’re just getting started you can begin with the first exercise in the series and then work your way up to the more advanced bridges in the video.

Here’s to a strong core and being able to do the things you love to do!

Why Having Good Balance Matters

Simple Exercises For Good Balance by Jennifer Ledford

Good balance is a function that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. Good balance helps you stay upright, gives you the confidence to participate in the activities you enjoy, is important for your safety — and, as you age, affects your ability to live independently.

While “balance training” may not always sound as exciting as other types of exercise, having good balance helps you maintain your quality of life. That’s why it’s a good idea to incorporate balance exercises into your fitness routine… even if it’s just a few minutes a day.

In today’s video, I share two balance exercises you can use to help improve and/or maintain your balance.  Take a moment to watch the video and then try the exercise that fits your level of fitness.

Here’s to a long and balanced life!

Stairs: A Strengthening and Toning Tool

Stairs - A Strengthening and Toning Tool by Jennifer Ledford

You’ve probably heard “take the stairs instead of the elevator” a gazillion times. But what if instead of it just being a healthier way to get around, you used the stairs as a strengthening and toning tool?

In today’s video, I share three lower body exercises you can perform using a stair. Since moving up stairs causes you to work harder against gravity, you’ll build strength and power in your lower body while elevating your heart rate. After performing any, or all three, of these exercises, you will have challenged your muscles and you will have added a free and effective mini workout to your exercise routine!

Make it a fun and fit week!
