Elbow Plank: Ab Exercise To Help You Tighten Your Core

Elbow Plank - Ab Exercise To Help You Tighten Your Core by Jennifer Ledford

Planks are a popular exercise in the personal training world.  They are simple to learn, very effective, and you can do them almost anywhere.

Because the plank strengthens all of your core, not just your abdominals, it teaches your body’s muscles to work together which helps you move more efficiently when performing other activities such as walking, hiking, swimming, biking, etc.  It also helps with strengthening and improving posture which can assist in preventing back pain.

In today’s video I demonstrate how to perform an elbow plank with a knee tap.  This exercise is a little more challenging than your traditional plank.  However, it’s not so over the top that it’s impossible to perform. Take a moment to watch the video and if it’s right for you add it to your routine two to three times per week.  I know you’ll be happy with the results!

Here’s to having strong muscles that allow you to do the things you love!

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,
