Rock These 3

Doing these 3 simple moves 3 times a week can help you lose your weak. Start easy and build your way up to a better, stronger you!

1. Push-ups - all hale to the mighty push-up! Love, love, love them! They not only help build upper body strength and endurance, but build the core too. There are many variations on the pushup that can hit different parts of the upper body. Get going on these, even if you start with the modified push-up, and make sure to add variety. My favorite... the narrow grip push-up.

2. Planks - plank it out! Like the push-up, there are many variations of the plank that can be used to work specific parts of the core. I like the plank because it works the full core (shoulders through hips) and then some. Building a strong core is key to functional movement and sport specific movements.

3. Squats - get low! Proper form is necessary when performing squats, once you've mastered your form then get your hips back and low! You will be working your quads, glutes, hips, and hamstrings... lots of leg work in one single motion. Many variations on the squat too.
