Was in the best mood yesterday during a Luau themed party. This was probably partially due to the outdoor workout I had earlier in the hot sun. The endorphins were flowing big time and my mood was elevated to reach higher peaks because of the vitamin C and running sprints combination. Towards the end of the day we even added in extra physical activity by putting a night cap on with some outdoor ac...

Sissy Squat Machines are great for assisting you through this exercise to help keep you balanced. This is a great pick of an exercise when trying to build quad strength while also working on your core simultaneously. As a bonus this exercise will also help you work on your hip flexors.

Let’s go! Lunge with me. But first off what is it and why should we do them? A lunge is a unilateral exercise. This means you are training one side of your body at a time. This is great for collecting any muscle imbalances that you may have between your left and right side. It also challenges your overall stability while improving your core. It is a solid go to move in order to work your major...

It truly felt so much longer with the intensity of the heat and some of these more challenging moves such as this one. Remember to keep your ...

Although basic moves are good, I do find that compound movements are more effective overall in a shorter time span.

Get ready to drop it down low to the floor. Squats make a booty hot 🥵 not to mention especially in super high heat. It’s like working out in a sauna, taking it up several notches to increase the intensity level. You can also add a resistance band to make it more challenging as seen here. If you have a lighter weight like I do, try completing a higher rate range going until failure which mean...
