Get A Grip

AdrianneHo_VintageNikeWindbreaker_4 Jokes aside having good grip and forearm strength improves everyday movement and activities. Hand Grips help build and develop strength in wrists and forearms. Traditionally they are used by boxers so they can handle stress on the wrists and forearms. This strength is utilized daily while lifting objects, driving, and playing sports like tennis or hockey.
SweatTheStyle_SupremeGrip Hold the gripper and try to close it as many times as you can. Record how long it took. Repeat on the other hand. Make sure to grip for the same amount of time on each hand.

Darryl Richardson for Nike Women Summit

It’s all in the name, ModelFit’s mission is to help women develop long lean “model like” muscle while still building strength and enhancing their fitness levels. Combining workout methods like pilates, yoga, balance stability, and functional training with the use of light weights and sliding disks, a one hour workout will be sure to create a slow burn in muscles you didn’t know existed. The studio also offers appointments with a nutritionist and wellness counselor and has a cold press juice and prepared foods section.

Start with a stretch.
15 minutes of yoga holding weights.
15 minutes of Pilates holding weights and with weights strapped on to legs.
20 weighted crunches with each hand aiming to the right, centre, and left side of body.
15 backwards lunges using the sliding disks on each leg while holding a weight. Slide legs back to the right, centre, and left side of the body for each set.
Finish with a stretch.

FLAT PACK

AdrianneHo_SupremeBoro_1Like anything else in life, success in fitness is all about consistency. It doesn’t matter how much you kill it during one workout, what matters is that you keep going back for more. As a great addition to daily cardio a quick ab routine first thing in the morning or last thing at night is a great way to keep your core strong and defined.
1 minute plank to start.
30 mountain climbers.
50 bench crunches.
30 knee thrusts each side.
1 minute side plank on each side.

WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME

SweatTheStyle_AlessandraKirn_6SweatTheStyle_AlessandraKirn_7 Not all roads a created equal but all have their own advantages. Running on a soft surface like a field or grass creates less impact on knees and joints while making the leg muscles work harder and become stronger.
Model Alessandra Kirn switches it up while in Greece. The uneven countryside keeps her on her toes while she focuses straight ahead and doesn’t look back. A good 40 minute run followed by a stretch is the perfect end to her day.

Step Up To Get Your Rep Up

AdrianneHo_HoKnowsChina_3Step ups are a functional workout meaning that it’s a range of movement you use everyday. They target thigh and butt muscles so prepare to feel it the next day.
Stand in front of a bench, step, or ledge and get to work.
Do 20 reps on each leg 3 times.
Finish with a short 1 mile run.
For a harder workout try holding weights in each hand.
