Happy Monday, FitFam! The weather is beautiful, summer is coming and my shoulders are getting WORKED today! One of my Instagram friends (@gogreenfit) whose goal is to become the strongest man in the world posted this move using the bosu and the stability ball a few months back and I have been thinking about trying [continue reading]
**Just added a bonus move to this sequence that you can try** I used to think that the only way to get my abs looking really good was to do 5 different exercises each time I trained them. While doing multiple exercises is effective when you’re targeting the various ab layers, you can also be [continue reading]
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Here are two killer core moves I just did – post-Turkey day Ab-shredding sesh. Move 1: Ball Pikes – hands on the bench, feet on the ball in plank position. Using your core, come into a pike, keeping your balance. Return to start. Repeat 10-12. Move 2: Pass-Thrus - hold [continue reading]
I just wanted to share a move with you that absolutely destroys me (in the best way haha) every time I do it – my form is still a work in progress on them, but that’s exactly why I keep working on it. Move of the day: Decline Pushup The decline push up is a [continue reading]

Using your core muscles, come up to a V, arms at your shins. Return each time [continue reading]
Move(s) of the day: Plank Variations – right arm, left arm, front and reverse. Keep your shoulders stacked over your wrists, and your core engaged – hold each move for 30-60 seconds
I love doing single-leg movements. They really challenge my balancing muscles and help me work on stabilizing my hips and core. Many people I work with have pelvic imbalances, so if you’re willing to really work on your form and watch yourself while you do this move, it can be incredibly helpful in isolating weaknesses [continue reading]
This workout hits your core and glutes hard. I go for 10 reps on these with heavier weight to really increase muscle growth and maximize fat burning. I like to have defined legs and glutes that look muscular, but still have that lean-body look. To really get definition and see your effort in the gym pay off, go [continue reading]
Happy Friday the 13th! My trainer always tells me to always go “past the finish line.” It’s a training technique that really sticks with me when the reps start adding up. Since I usually do 12 reps of everything, I added one more for today – because I can! And you can too! Once you [continue reading]
