Hey, fit friends! I'm back with another exercise demo for you today! Let’s talk planks—they're awesome for working your abs and your whole body. Plus, they’re way easier on your back compared to sit-ups or crunches.

So, start in a push-up position with your hands and toes on the ground, keeping your back straight and your core tight. Tuck your chin a bit and look just in front of your hands.

Remember to breathe deep and keep that tension in your body—engage those abs, shoulders, triceps, glutes, and quads!

Aim for 2-3 sets of 30-second holds to kick things off. You got this!

Leg Day… I love to hate it! 😬😜😂🔥🔥🔥

Leg day offers benefits such as boosting metabolism and calorie burn, improving balance and stability, and reducing injury risk by strengthening legs, joints, and core. It also stimulates the release of growth hormones and testosterone, contributes to a more balanced physique, and can even improve lower back pain and posture.

Philippians 2:1–2 (ESV)
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.”

Paul beautifully ties joy to unity and love among believers. When we live in harmony—encouraging, comforting, and caring for one another—we truly display the joy of Christ in our lives. This joy is not dependent on having everything perfect or free from challenges; rather, it flows from being deeply connected to Jesus and to one another in genuine relationships.

This week, be intentional about looking for ways to encourage others. Offer a kind word, a listening ear, or a simple act of service. Be the voice of comfort or kindness someone might need today.

Prayer:
Jesus, make my heart gentle and joyful. Teach me to encourage others and to live in harmony with those around me. May my life reflect Your love and bring joy to others. Amen.

Back & Biceps 💪🏼♥️🔥

Pull-ups
Bicep Curl
Face Pull
Hammer Curl
Lat Pull Downs
Crossbody Curl
Good Mornings
W-Curl
Bent Over Row

Strength training the back and biceps is important for improving posture, enhancing pulling strength, building a balanced physique, and boosting overall upper body strength and function. This combination is efficient because many back exercises naturally engage the biceps, and strengthening both can lead to improved aesthetics and functional movements like lifting, pulling, and rotating the forearm.
