This is so much fun because it’s hard, and I love that, and I have to psych up and focus a lot. 4th set of 30 secs, strengthens serratus anterior (helps stabilize the shoulder blade/rib cage) and the rotator cuff muscles. In between sets, I’ll stand and do the same thing. Now THAT’S fun!

Ahmood has a natural ability to move with great form right down to his footplant. And if you know me, I am very particular about this. It is so key to making sure to avoid ankle, knee, hip and back pain. Please remember, plyometrics like this one should be done systematically and with limited reps/session depending on your goal. And is your goal to jump better? Do you have a sport that requires this skill? Do you need this in your daily life? Ahmood is smart and doesn’t go crazy with his jumps. It’s just fun variety. I see a dangerous trend lately in fitness with overdoing jumps to lose weight. Ouch! And on hard surfaces? Our bodies are meant to move forward remember. That’s what our feet/arches are designed to do. Better to separate your CV and strength training for better/safer results. #personaltrainer #YOURWorldTrainer #fitness #fitover40 #health #elsegundo #manhattanbeach #hermosabeach #redondobeach #playavista #losangeles #lovemyjob❤️

Balance, balance, #balance. Core, core, #core.. although I think that word is way overused. I love balance stuff. It’s so darn fun! This is one of the first exercises I ever learned on the ball a long time ago, and I haven’t done it in almost as long. The thing with balance is that it is quickly learned and easily remembered.. for most, like surfers, golfers, gymnasts, etc. Sure, they mess up royally but can also be the best at the very next wave, putt, dismount, … There are just so many complex factors involved in mastering these sports. And this ball exercise is a great one for your back and abs regardless of whether you are an athlete or not. #YOURWorldTrainer #personaltrainer #fitness #fitover30 #fitover40 #fitover50 #fitover60 #elsegundo #manhattanbeach #hermosabeach #redondobeach #inglewood #playavista #losangeles @becauseisaidiwould #ilovemyjob💃thanks Patti @coolie_surf for my killer tights!!
