🏋️♂️ Strength Training for a Stronger You! 🏋️♀️ Strength training doesn't have to mean heavy weights in a gym. There are simple things you can do at home to increase your muscle mass.

If you are someone who hates training abs? 🧽 You can try different exercises with/without weight and if you do weight training then your core strengthens too because you engage it in most movements. 🤸🏼♀️ If you go to the gym you can do: • Leg raises (straight or bent leg) •Plank (with a plate on top) for strengthening your core and for a slimmer waist. •Russian twists for your obliques (you can do this weighted if you have access to a gym). •Just do a couple of sets with the max amount of reps possible for each at the end of your workout.💯

What are the BEST Exercises to do? This question can go a lot of different ways, but training intensity takes the cake... Some of my FAVORITE Leg Exercises and Sequences: ✅ Bulgarian Squats... 3 sets x 10 each side ✅ Back Squats... 4 sets x 3-5 reps ✅ Hip Thrusters... 3-4 sets x 10 reps ✅ Sissy Squats... 3 sets x 10-15 reps each side... I like to superset this for a burn out ✅ Prone Leg Curl Machine... 3 sets x 6 heavy reps, 6 light and slow reps, drop-set 👉 Online Training Information: https://lnkd.in/g8_DkaQF #FitnessTips #CoachTips #functionalmusclefitness #GymMotivation #Gym #BayArea #CoachWine #ConcordCA #NoMoreSoftness
