Lower Body Exercises - 3 of the Best
Fit Kicks Videos, Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness
As your online trainer, it's my job to send to your computers my very best training advice. The ability to actually show you my favorite exercises is a gift, and I'm excited to share these three with you. They're moderately simple training techniques, but very challenging and exactly what I'd have you do if you showed up at my gym searching for a stronger, leaner and tighter lower body.
I recommend you do as many as you can of each exercise -- and aim for three times a week for the greatest results. Beginners may only do 10 of each exercise. My advanced clients build up to about 100 reps of each move. No equipment is required, so please feel free to do these moves anywhere and everywhere. No excuses! Progress slowly and you'll be sporting short shorts this summer for sure!

Q. Hi Fitz. I keep hearing both you and other people say I should do push-ups, but I'm a small woman and don't want to bulk up. Push-ups are hard, so should I do them if I want to stay toned yet trim? Alyssa
A. Great question, Alyssa! This common question is on the mind of many women, and I'm happy to give this answer as many times as there are women who need to hear it. What you need to know is that it requires extraordinary effort for most women to put on any sort of bulky muscle. That means: protein shakes, supplements and insane amounts of heavy lifting. Of course, there are a few rare women here and there who pack on muscle quickly, but if you're already telling me you are small ... you are not one of those rare women.

Ahhh. Just wanted to point you all in the right direction. This week I had the luxury of being a guest on Laura Lewis' That's Fit weekly podcast. Laura had the guts to ask me about my strategies for getting fitter and not fatter for the holidays. Not known for keeping my big mouth shut.......I let her have it.
Laura is the perfect radio host, and although I hate the sound of my own voice.........I encourage you to have a listen. It may just be the kick in the butt you need to survive this insane month of December.
