Add Variety To Your Leg Routine With This Squat Exercise

Add Variety To Your Leg Routine With This Squat Exercise by Jennifer Ledford

If you exercise regularly, it’s easy to get into the routine of doing the same set of exercises every time.  I’ll be the first one to tell you that doing the same exercises every time you workout will always be better than doing nothing at all. However, there is something to be said for adding a bit of variety to your workout routine.

Adding new activities to your routine can challenge your muscles, your nervous system, and your brain.  One of the easiest ways to challenge yourself physically and mentally is to move the body in multiple directions during a workout.

Adding Variety To Your Squats

In today’s video I demonstrate how to move “side to side” while performing squats.  I’ve added some upper body work as well.  It’s a simple exercise that helps tone and strengthen the legs, glutes, back, and abs.  That’s a lot of return for a small investment of your time!

Enjoy the video and have a great week!

How To Stretch Your Lower Body Safely and Effectively

How To Stretch Your Lower Body Safely and Effectively - by Personal Trainer Jennifer Ledford

The multiple stresses of modern life caused by things like working at a desk, long commutes, or repetitive use of technology seem to be wreaking havoc on people’s bodies these days. Oftentimes, when I begin working with a new private client, the first few weeks are spent working on flexibility and range of motion.  This helps prepare their body to move more efficiently which allows the client to maximize the benefits of their exercise routine and to help prevent injury.

A good exercise routine includes time spent on maintaining flexibility and range of motion to avoid potential joint pain down the road. One of the simplest ways to improve flexibility is stretching.  You don’t need to belong to a gym and while some props or equipment are helpful, they aren’t necessary.

In today’s video I demonstrate the proper way to stretch your quads and your hamstrings both lying on the floor and in a standing position.  It’s usually a good idea to know a few different stretches that can accommodate your current fitness needs and/or location you’ll be performing the exercise.  For example, you may not want to lie on the floor at your office but it’s one of the most important places to stretch your legs after long periods of sitting so knowing some standing stretches is very beneficial in this setting.

Have a blessed week!
