Before you Begin Working out

Get familiar with these exercises first!

As a baby, you learn to roll before you crawl. You crawl before your walk. You walk before you run. These are my top 5 exercises which build your foundation of all your daily movements. I recommend being familiar and comfortable with these exercises before jumping into a workout routine.

Why are these the top 5? They are my top top 5 because they incorporate movements you do on a daily basis: sit, stand, lift, walk, push and pull. These also help to prevent injury. They are the building blocks to a solid exercise foundation.

Take the time to perfect these top 5 exercises and I guarantee you will feel stronger, more energetic and be one step closer to your fitness goals!
