Happy National Women's Health and Fitness Day!🏋🏻‍♀️💐 . . Strength training with free weights is still relatively new for my wife Andi. Here she is crushing Trap Bar Deadlifts, an exercise which she just recently learned. . . She now approaches exercises like this with confidence, rather than avoiding them. In fact, today marked a new PR for her. . . By getting out of her comfort zone, she's opened up a whole new training experience. . Great job La Jefa‼️ . . #strenghttraining #nationalwomensfitnessandhealthday #fitness #fitnessmotivation #trapbardeadlift #vitalifit #embracediscomfort #getoutofyourcomfortzone @excellenceinexercise

Wax on, wax off – channeling my inner Karate Kid

Wax On, Wax Off. Mr. Miyagi will be proud😎 . . #Repost @plantstoplanks with @get_repost ・・・ Channel your inner Mr. Miyagi for today's Plank Challenge variation with a little wax on/wax off action. @vitalifit_coach shows how to get that floor clean while you work those core muscles. 😉 As always lock in those core muscles and keep your body in good alignment throughout the movement. Adapt using a couple of towels, paper plates or old t-shirts on a wooden floor if you don't have sliders. Beginner: Perform for 30 seconds Intermediate: Perform for 45 seconds Advanced: Perform for 60 seconds #plank #planks #plankchallenge #sliders #valslides #sliderwaxonwaxoff #karatekid #mrmiyagi #core #coreworkout #exercise #fitness #challenge #stability #workout #fitfam #motivation #plantstoplanks #excellenceinexercise #fitfriday @excellenceinexercise @valslide
