Whether you want to up your at-home fitness, or get to know how you can use the gym machines for body conditioning, we plan to bring you a small step towards a fitter, leaner and happier you.
To start off our weekly workouts, we’re going to work on posture, toning your legs and strengthening your core – which means you’ll have a great base for next week’s workout…
This Week…. Take On A Warrior Pose
The Warrior Yoga pose is a great exercise to tone your legs while strengthening your core.
- To master this pose, start by stand with the feet together, and lift up the left leg with a pointed toe, putting your body weight onto the standing, right leg.
- Continue to lift your leg and drop the head and torso so they form a straight horizontal line from head to toe with the arms at your sides.
- Engage your core and make sure the left thigh, hip, and toes are aligned.
- Remain facing down and keep your back as straight as possible. Ensure your right knee doesn’t lock and centre the weight on the middle of the foot.
- Hold for 5 breaths and then slowly return to standing.
- Switch legs and repeat.
