Day #14: Widelegged Forward Fold of the #yogaflowemoji challenge with @lynnieluve I wasn't sure how to proceed with this one in terms of form, but I just followed @lynnieluve by doing it with my hands on my legs and arms folded on the floor, trying not to force the pose or lock my knees. This actually felt really good. #functionallyfit #bodymastery #yoganovice #exercise #fitness #flexibility #howcountrygirlsgetdown (at My Digable Planet)

So this is scary Day #13: Handstand of the #yogaflowemoji challenge with @lynnieluve. I dreaded this day and I was anxious to say the least. I looked up all kinds of how-to's on handstands and settled on the fact that this takes time plus I have to get over my apprehension at being upside down. I included a pic of myself standing there thinking about the pose, because that's what I did the longest. LOL. In the middle pic, I used the wall to steady myself, then removed my feet which lasted a grand total of 3 seconds. 💩 Then I tried the method of walking up the wall facing away, then pushed off the wall which I held for 2 seconds, followed by crashing to the ground. 😂. Best I could do, kids! Must admit it was still fun trying. #yoganovice #exercise #fitness #howcountrygirlsgetdown #bodymastery #functionallyfit (at My Digable Planet)

I found a new product while shopping today and decided to do a side-by-side comparing the new protein @lovemysilk milk versus my usual almond milk. #readthelabels #knowwhatyouareputtinginyourbody #macro #macronutrients #nutrition #fuelyourbody #eattoperform #eattoworkout #silk #silkmilk #milkalternative #failtoprepare #preparetofail #protein #nutritionlabels #functionalathlete #functionallyfit #crossfit #legionofboom #iam1stphorm #1stphorm

Dumbbell Skull Crushers on a #StabilityBall Shift the arms slightly back and bend at the elbows. Keep the hips up and squeeze the glutes. #PersonalTraining #VisionSportsClub #FunctionallyFit #TrainForLife #PearlRiver #GiveItAWhirl (at Vision Sports Club)

#FrontalPlane lunge to curl #Mike's form here is pretty good making sure he gets a good hip hinge to load the glute and quad on the stepping leg by pushing his hips back. This helps keeps the load off the knee. #GiveItAWhirl #FunctionalTraining #FunctionallyFit #TrainForLife #VisionSportsClub #PersonalTraining #PearlRiver (at Vision Sports Club)

With most exercises, you're pulling (or pushing) against gravity. Using the cross cable machine can allow you to change that as well as the angle of pull. This creates more #instability and depending on the angle, can also change the difficulty of the exercise. Denise here is performing a #deadlift from a high anchor on the cables. She has to #stabilize anteriorly so the weights don't "pull me through the wall" (her words). Throughout this movement, drive the hips forward and squeeze the glutes. To add a little more challenge, add a row to this move. #TrainForLife #FunctionallyFit #FunctionalTraining #GiveItAWhirl (at Vision Sports Club)
