"Point your Toes!!" "Turn-out your hopping leg!!" "Hold your Core!!" Heard these before? I know I have about a billion times! Give these 3 exercises to try to help you out at your next dance class :)... All you need is some space and a small towel. 1. Place you heel at the end of the towel and use your toes to pull the towel towards you. Flatten the towel out and repeat! 2. Stand with feet parallel, standing on the towel with one foot. Rotate your leg out and in. BUT DON'T MOVE YOUR HIPS. Think about twisting your leg in the hip socket. Repeat with the other leg! 3. Place both feet on the towel, with both hands on the ground underneath your shoulders. Pull your knees into your chest, trying to keep your upper body still and extend your legs back out straight. Repeat!

Working out faithfully with JC Fitness personal trainer Jamie Conrick. I have lost 12 lbs. and 10 inches. Thanks Jamie! My morning begins at 5 a.m. 15 minutes on the bike, 30 minutes on the treadmill (incline 4 while holding weights), weight training, push ups, core exercises and finally stretches. To help me get to work on time and ensure consistent training while on vacation Jamie and I have started to use FaceTime for our sessions. It works great even when we are miles away! Oh I forgot we sometimes use TRX...it looks easy but wait until you try this full body workout. https://www.trxtraining.com/ - Karen McGill

Earlier this year Kaylee MacLellan snapped her Achilles Tendon Highland Dancing. A devastating injury to anyone, but especially to someone who is used to living an active lifestyle involving dance and cross training at the gym. Rather than spending her time in bed, Kaylee chose to work-out anyway, determined to stay fit and healthy despite her new disability. Only 6 days after surgery Kaylee ditched her crutches for the iWalk2.0 and was back at the gym. Her exercise program w...as adjusted to accommodate for her different stages of recovery. Initially weight lifting with zero weight bearing using the iWalk, then progressing to partial-weight bearing with a specialized air-cast, to full-weight bearing with the air cast, and finally to full-weight bearing in two shoes. Kaylee proves that an injury doesn’t have to hinder you from working out and staying fit. You can stay motivated and focused despite suffering from injuries. Here are some examples of exercises that Kaylee was able to do at various stages of her recovery.

Because this is what fitness actually looks like #thisgirlcan
