Two Simple Exercises For Good Posture

Two Simple Exercises That Help Improve Your Posture by Certified Personal Trainer and Healthy Lifestyle Coach Jennifer Ledford - Good Posture

I’m guessing that at some point and time while you were growing up, someone in your life encouraged you to stand up straight and maintain good posture.  If so, that was really good advice.

Posture can influence your day in many ways.  Poor posture can cause you to have lower self-esteem and affect your health in a negative way.

However, good posture can boost your confidence, give you more energy, help you breathe better, and protect your spine.

In the video below, I share two simple exercises that can help you improve your posture.  These exercises can be performed at home, at the gym, or on the go so they are easy to fit into your daily life.

Enjoy the video and have a blessed week!

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!
