Monday Night Fitball tonight
🏈

We all want to be our best and know that everything is not perfection. Set new goals and compete against yourself. Remember to push yourself and embrace progress, no matter the goal.

Your body didn’t get out of shape overnight or in two days so it’s definitely not going to show up in two days. Put in the hard work, consistency and dedication and you will get there.

Hi everyone 👋 Coach Jenny with a fitness tip about “CORE”

With food we sometimes lack in vitamins due to not being able to get them completely from what we take in as Whole Foods alone. That is why to fill those gaps we take in the correct supplement to fill that.

With exercise we are sometimes lacking in overall fitness due to not having our core work properly. Filling in with sometimes the simplest of movements result in the greatest gain in your fitness routine and this is definitely the case with planks. To do a plank, you hold your body off the ground, making sure to hold it in a straight line.
While getting into the proper form is straightforward, holding the position takes strength and endurance in your abs, back, and core. There are 29 muscles to be exact that surround the trunk area.

Here are 5 Benefits that doing a Plank have for you.
1. A Toned Belly
You are isolating 29 muscles which will then in turn strengthen your core.
2. Reduce Back Pain
3. Flexibility
To increase the stretching benefits, try a rocking plank – once in basic plank form, rock your body back and forth by moving your toes a few inches either way.
4. Improve Your Mood
5. Improve Your Balance and Posture

• Hold your elbows directly under your shoulders and place your wrists in line with your elbows.
• Push your body up into your upper back and hold your chin close to your neck (like you’re holding an egg between your chin and your throat).
• In this position, brace your abdominals—contract them like expecting a punch in your stomach, squeeze your gluteal (tailbone) and thigh muscles simultaneously while continuing to breathe normally.
• Hold a plank at least 20 to 30 seconds to start in proper form. Then work your way up from there.
• Start doing the plank using your elbows and toes (feel free to drop to your knees if necessary).
**As with any exercise you can’t spot reduce one body area. That comes with total body workouts and proper nutrition as it relates to your individual goals**
