{The Nest Health} Get your best body forward

Posted in Girl Power, The Nest Beauty, The nest health by centralwestnest

Our brilliant, resident personal trainer, Riss from Larissa Beer Personal Training, has some great advice regarding getting your best body ready for summer.

Hi again Nesters!

Summer is fast approaching and will be here before you know it!

Soon will be the time to shed your clothes, put on your swimmers, and hit the beach. summer

People always come to me around this time of the year and ask “how can I get into shape for summer?”, the answer: “You need to start NOW!!”

The weather is already starting to warm up and the days are getting longer so the motivation to get off the couch will be greater (there goes all the good excuses for not not exercising).

I’m going to give you a program you can do at home, outside in the park, in the gym or basically wherever you like to workout. I call it Operation Bikini Body (you will need a set of dumbells for this workout unless you lift on a regular basis I would go no heavier than 2kg)

Step 1: Jog on the spot

Step 2: Deep squats

Step 3: Star jumps

Step 4: Walking plank (get into a plank position on your elbows then come up onto your hands and back to your elbows alternate this action for 1 minute)

Step 5: Jump squats

Step 6: Deep alternating lunges

Step 7: High knees

Step 8: Squat with shoulder press ( hold dumbells in each hand and bring arms out in front so the elbow and shoulder create a ninety degree angle as squat down as you come up from the squat raise arms straight in the air performing the shoulder press)

Step 9: Mountain climbers

Step 10: Lunge with bicep curl left leg

Step 11: Lunge with bicep curl right leg

Step 12: Burpees

Step 13: Reverse crunch

Step 14: Bridge with a chest press (lie on ground raise bottom off the ground getting into a bridge position, hold this position whilst performing a regular dumbbell chest press)

Step 15: Twist (this is my favourite! Go old school daggy dancing and do the twist…its great for cardio and the core)

Step 16: Bicycle crunch

Do each exercise for 1 minute then repeat circuit.

Of course, make sure you speak to your doctor before starting any new health regime.

As always, if you have any health or fitness questions please email me at centralwestnest@outlook.com

Happy health Nesters!

{The Nest Health} Work it baby – in the comfort of your own lounge room

Posted in The nest health, The Nest how-to, This is life by centralwestnest

Our brilliant, resident personal trainer, Riss from Larissa Beer Personal Training, has some great advice regarding at home exercising.

Hi again Nesters!

I love exercise! Really I do. Everything about it. I especially love the feeling of my muscles burning and working up a sweat.

Yet, like everyone else there are days, particularly on the frosty and cold winter days when the temptation to stay inside by the fire with a warm cup of tea seems much more ideal than braving the elements!

BUT winter and cold weather are no excuse for not getting your daily dose of exercise. There are plenty of simple and effective exercises that you can do at home that require no gym equipment.

Today I am providing some of my favourites with you. This is a quick 30 minute circuit – because surely you can fit 30 minutes of exercise in, especially when it’s in the comfort of your own home.

workout at home

Each exercise will go for 1 minute which you will then repeat after you have gone through the circuit once.

Jog (just a simple jog on the spot to get the heat rate going and warm your muscles up)
Squats
Mountain climbers
Push ups (if you can’t do a full push up, then a modified or wall push up is perfectly fine)
Alternate lunges (lunging from one leg to the other rather than your standard static lunge)
Burpees
Bicycle crunches
Tricep dips (for this one you will need a chair or coffee table)
Skipping (no rope required just pretend you have a rope and start skipping)
Prone hold (if you can’t do the whole minute on your toes then come down to your knees)
Lying side leg raises right side (lying on your side bend the lower leg, keep top leg straight and pulse up and down)
Lying side leg raises left side
High knees (just like jogging on the spot but bring your knees high and pick up the pace
Sit ups
Star jumps
