I have a private Personal Training studio in Austin, Texas, in my home. I will also go to my clients homes - and will bring any apparatus if its needed. I believe in a balance of muscle toning/strengthening, flexibility, and cardio/aerobic exercises that are fun and bring results. I also offer expertise and experience in proper and effective nutrition plans for ideal body weight and weight loss, without deprivation. Each clients program and sessions are geared to them personally, to fit into their lifestyle, to be long lasting and effective.Incorporate this easy-to-learn exercise segment into your workout. It hits your hamstrings, abs of course, arms, chest and shoulders. It’s called “worm” or “inch worm” since you walk out slowly and back, bending in the middle. Do the pushup modified or military; it is effective either way.

Hi all,
I have no idea where I got the name for these (maybe elementary school?). There are other versions and names, I just like “Burpees”. This move has 6 steps, and exercises (challenges) your Heart, Legs, Abs, Arms, Shoulders, Chest, Glutes, and Skeleton from impact! Its about 10 seconds to do ONE all the way through. I recommend my clients (depending on fitness) aim for 6 to 8 in a row; take small break, then repeat!
As always, watch it through once first, then practice along with me as I call out the timing for each move.
Take care,
Margo
Watch this video first before executing so you can learn the movement. It’s key to keep your shoulders over your hands, in a push up position as you see me point out. Keep abs tucked up, elbows slightly bent, for maximum effect.
Take care,
Margo
