Save it, print it, & make notes if you have any other workout classes lined up! Last week Kat and I were taking at the HQ about calendars— she’s a calendar on her phone type of gal and I like to print everything out. You have to admit tho…this calendar is super cute to print out anyway 
What do you prefer??In this 31 day challenge, you start off with 10 repetitions of each squat, lunge, and push-up and each day add another into the mix. As these are some of the most basic body-weight moves, they are a great way to begin your fitness journey, but it is important to do them with proper form.
Using the wall to learn to squat is a great way. Remember to keep your knees in line with your toes and not to touch the wall!
Lunging can be harmful to your knees if you let your knee fall over your ankle. This video should help you see the right (and wrong) way to do it:
). Lunges primarily target the quadriceps, but involve secondary muscles like the glutes, hamstrings and calves. They will also help you build core strength as you use it a lot for balance. Lunges are important for toning the lower body, and you are likely to build up a sweat doing them burning lots of calories. 
The common mistakes I see with lunges are: 1⃣ People not taking a big enough step and therefore pronating (knee is going beyond the toe line). 2⃣ After taking a big step they are putting all their weight forward, again causing that knee to over pronate, putting too much pressure on the joint. 
To lunge correctly you want to take a big enough step (I have long legs so you can see my step is rather wide) and focus on dropping down (not forward) so the back knee is close to the ground. You also want to keep in an upright position so you aren’t leaning forward. I hope this helps

Did you know in a full push-up, you’re pushing up between 60 to 70 percent of your body weight? This video will help teach you ways to build that strength before making your way to the floor.
• Start at the appropriate level, nail the form at that level, then progress to the next! You CAN do it!! • Enjoy! • • • • #jwimberlyfitness #fitness #pushup #howtopushup #howto #core #coreworkout #workout #upperbody #strength #personaltrainer #901trainer #memphistrainer #choose901No matter if you’re a beginner to fitness or if you work out every day, proper form will help you in the long run, so it’s important to begin learning by doing the exercises the right way.
Let’s get started!

]]>We’ve selected 3 of our favorite YouTubers who focus on fitness to share with you. They also are less well known and have less than 500,000 subscribers.
GMB Fitness
Why? They focus on technique and how to do exercises while building muscle.
You’ll have to visit their YouTube page for full videos, but they have an Instagram for more content that teaches instead of only showing you what they can do.
Keltie O’ Connor
Why? She’s a down to earth fitness enthusiast. She isn’t afraid to tell you all the ways she goes wrong with her diet and exercise plan, and she focuses on being active every day.
Keltie also has an Instagram you can follow, @keltieoconnor but we prefer her YouTube channel.
Jon Venus
Why? Jon Venus is different from other bodybuilders as he’s a vegan. While I’m not a vegan, personally, my lactose intolerance does lead me to follow many vegan recipes.
His Instagram is full of snack ideas, which we are huge fans of!

]]>It’s tough to begin a practice that seems so difficult. You could sign up for a class, you could go to your local bookstore and pick up a book, or you could purchase a full course online. Most of these options will cost you money, and even a lot of time.
So you’re asking yourself, how do I begin yoga when I’m too lazy to even get up for a cup of coffee?
In bed of course!
We’ve rounded up three videos for those of us too lazy to get up out of bed or out of your desk chair.
