FitQuick Exercise Segment – Squat-Kicks

margo-personaltrainer — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 03:13:50 +0000

This segment I call “Squat Kicks” (a slower, more joint-friendly kick box-like move + squat) is a challenging leg, core and heart workout. It will also test your balance and coordination!

Take care,

FitQuick Video – Legs and Glute workout

margo-personaltrainer — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:12:54 +0000

I call this “Center Left Center Right”. It’s a small range of motion squat, keep weight even on both legs. Watch it through once first to get the form. It’s also a good little cardio segment while toning and strengthening your legs and tush.

Take care,

Margo

FitQuick Exercise Segment – Abs 8 challenge Video

margo-personaltrainer — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:23:30 +0000

Here’s an Ab challenge for you: 8 different abdominal moves, 8 reps each, under 2 minutes. (Thought I was going to say 8 minutes too,huh?) Work up to being able to do the entire thing with good form. It rocks if I do say so myself. Watch it through once first to see the moves.

Take care,

Margo

FitQuick Exercise Video Segment – Leg Toning

margo-personaltrainer — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:26:45 +0000

Here’s an easy to learn leg toning segment. I call them “chaplins” (if you watch OLD movies you’ll get it) as the proper stance to maintain keeps knees slightly bent, toes pointing out. Always land on heel first. You’ll see it demonstrated clearly.

Take care,

Margo

FitQuick Exercise Video Segment – “Clock” lunges

margo-personaltrainer — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 02:05:49 +0000

View this “clock lunge” video once through first before doing it to learn form. It’s okay if the traveling foot touches the floor for balance in between steps, versus trying to “hover” as we do in the video. Tighten your abs; land softly, and lead with your heel, not toes, when stepping out to lunge. Take small steps, except for the long reach right and left and you’ll see. Nice cardio hit at same time!

Take care,

Margo

Leg Cramps at Night – Solution!

margo-personaltrainer — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 00:05:35 +0000

I know it sounds weird, but it works for many people. Put a bar of soap between your fitted sheet and the mattress by your legs! Any bar soap brand works. I put one on the nightstand too. I think the nightstand one helps too and the fragrance is great in the bedroom.

Take care (and let me know if it worked for you. email me!)
