Hi Everyone!
Are you ready to get sweaty? Today’s workout is a HIIT Fat Burning workout that is focused on strengthening and sculpting your lower body. A strong lower body will not only give you a great shape, but helps improve your posture, hip position, and core strength.
The strength of your glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps directly impact the position of your hips. This means, that even if your focus is on creating a stronger, firmer, midsection it’s still important to work your lower body. Often people skip training body parts that they are happy with, to focus on areas that they feel need work. This can sabotage your results! Check out the photos below to see images of what weakened glutes/hamstrings can do to your posture.
Kyphosis can cause a bulge in the abdominals.
Weak Glutes and Shortened Hip Flexors can directly impact your postural alignment. This also puts increased pressure on your joints during exercise due to improper bio-mechanical alignment.
I hope you all enjoy today’s workout. Have fun, work up a sweat, and tag me in your photos! I love seeing you guys doing the workouts & getting healthy right along with you. #TeamBender #BenderFitness
