Fluid December Deals Week Three – Home Exercise Program And Equipment

Home exercise program and equipment. $75

 

Let’s face it, I’m a minimalist. Especially when it comes to fitness equipment. While I have been known to pull out multiple props during class (foam rollers, magic circles, blocks, straps, bands, tennis balls…) we often do an intense (and fun) workout using minimal or no equipment. One of my favorite toys is the Swiss Ball. You can use it for strength and core work – think squats, help with your standing balance poses like Warrior II, and for relaxation and flexibility work with back bends and restorative poses. An exercise band slips easily into your suitcase for workouts on the go. With these two tools you can get an effective workout in minutes a day.

 

ball and band 12.13

This package includes:

  • Swiss ball
  • exercise band
  • sixty minute strength session with Anne
  • home exercise program

You will meet with Anne here in her Sellwood studio and go through a personalized exercise program. Leave feeling longer and stronger and with a list and explanation of the exercises we did. With your ball, band and program you can continue your work at home.

*fine print: You may purchase this for yourself of give it as a gift. One deal per person. You have one year to use your training session with Anne. You must contact Anne by Monday December 23rd to take advantage of this offer.

Build Core Strength With Plank Rows

This exercise has caused the most moaning and groaning from my clients so far this month. Here Rick demonstrates one of the October Five – Plank rows.

Rick Plank Rows October 2012

Start in a plank with feet as wide as the mat (knees down if needed). Now lift one hand. Keep your plank position, nothing else moves.

Rick Plank Rows 2 October 2012

This exercise works upper body, core, back, legs – everything! If you do not have access to dumbbells start in a plank and just lift one hand.

Yoga Client Testimonial – Toned Legs and Butt

Here is what one of my ladies had to say after yoga class this week:

After two years of training with you I have noticed my legs and bum changing shape. While this was not necessarily my goal it is nice to feel more toned. My pant size has not changed but they are roomier in the legs and my backside is noticeably smaller.
