Strengthen Your Abs With Reverse Crunches

Power up your abs with this exercise - How To Perform A Reverse Crunch by Jennifer Ledford

Your abdominals are part of your body’s foundation so it’s important to maintain them properly.  Strong abdominals help support your back,  can improve your posture, and even help you look leaner.

While looking leaner or more toned can be a useful goal that motivates people to strengthen their abs, it’s important to remember that health and being physically fit is always more important than trying to achieve a perfectly flat stomach.  Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and not everyone has a naturally flat stomach so I recommend focusing on your health first. When you truly focus on being healthy on the inside, your outward appearance will benefit aswell.

In today’s video, I share a VERY effective abdominal exercise that you can perform almost anywhere.  I actually filmed the video in the tiny beach house we are renting while our house is on the market.   🙂

Enjoy the video and have a great week!

One of the top reasons that a person will hire a personal trainer is to make sure they are performing their exercises correctly and using proper form.  Proper form while strength training is incredibly important because it helps prevent injuries and ensure that you are getting the most out of the exercise.

​​​​​​​When I first started working in the fitness industry, you would have had to schedule a private session with me to learn proper form.  Not so anymore, thanks to technology!

In today’s video I share one of the safest, simplest, and most effective exercises I know of that strengthens and tones the biceps.  It’s simple to do on your own and great for all levels of fitness.

Here’s to keeping fitness safe and simple.

How To Perform The Bird Dog by Jennifer Ledford

Staying strong is important.  However, so is having fun and enjoying your summer.  Most people would rather not spend a beautiful summer day in the gym but would still like to squeeze in a few strength training moves here and there during the day.  If that’s you, body weight exercises are a great way to make that happen.

Most body weight exercises can be performed almost anywhere and they require little to no equipment.  Even if you love going to the gym, they are a great substitute for your favorite piece of equipment on the days you can’t make it to the gym, while you are traveling, or while you are waiting in line.

In today’s video I demonstrate a timeless exercise called the “bird dog.”  This exercise is a great way to tone and strengthen your core and upper body.  It requires no equipment and you can perform it anywhere that you feel comfortable being on your knees.  NO gym required.

​​​​​​​Enjoy the video and have a fantastic week!
