Workouts
Although I recommend a tailored workout plan for each client, I understand that there are some people out there who would like to give it a go themselves before committing to a personal trainer. Below are two great exercises to get you started.
Upper Body
Variations:
- Bench, Wall / Elevated - Knees - Press Up Do's: - Neutral Spine (body is in a straight line from head to toe) - Keep Core Tight - Head looking slightly forward (to help keep that neutral spine) - Move your body is in one motion. - Breathe! DoNT's: - Only move the top half of your body. - Hands too far apart - Drop your belly (core tight) - Hold your Breath. |
DESCRIPTION:
BEGIN PERFECTING YOUR TECHNIQUE WITH TRYING PRESS-UPS AGAINST THE WALL. HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU, SHOULDER WIDTH APART. WHEN DOING ELEVATED AND NORMAL PRESS UPS COME UP ONTO THE BALLS OF YOUR FEAT. ENSURE YOUR WHOLE BODY MOVES IN ONE MOTION AND CORE REMAINS TIGHT TO KEEP YOUR FORM. REMEMBER TO BREATHE AND YOU'VE GOT IT!

Lower Body
Variations:
- There are a Huge number of Variations for squats so to start we will just be going over the standard beginner's sqat. Do's: - Lead the movement by pushing your butt out like you're sitting on a chair. - Ensure your knees are behind your toes and remain in a straight direction through the movement. - Keep your shoulders back and core tight. - Push through your heel. Don't: - Bring your shoulders forward or hunch your back. - Let your knees fall in toward each other when squatting down. - Lift your heels off the ground. Description: When starting to squat I used a bench as a guide, standing slightly in front of it and squatting down as if I was going to sit down on it. |
keep your SHOULDERS BACK AND PUSH THROUGH YOUR HEELS WHEN COMING BACK TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION. IN THE PHOTOS above I AM DOING A WIDE VERSION OF A SQUAt HOWEVER, IDEALLY, YOu would want TO PROGRESS To a LOWER squat AND HAVE YOUR LEGS CLOSER TOGETHER, BUT THESE SMALL STEPS ARE A GREAT START TO YOUR BASIC SQUAT!
Tips
DRINK PLENTLY OF WATER
I know most of you know this as a general rule however sometimes we need a little reminder. Every day we ideally should be aiming for at least 3 Liters of water. Reaching this daily intake will help our body flush out unwanted bacteria, toxins, Boost your immune system, help clear the skin and so much more. As we are working towards feeling better on the outside through exercise it is important we hydrate our body accordingly so it has what it needs to repair and keep going. A lot of people find it tough to drink water (let alone enough) it is something to get use to but your body will thrive from being hydrated. HAPPY HYDRATING!! |
