These kind of workouts improve strength and balance; it’s the perfect combo! If your gym has kettlebells, you can do this workout there. Or, you can purchase a set of your own for a simple workout at home. If you’re a beginner, start off with lighter weights and work your way up as you become stronger with each kettlebell exercise.<br /></span><h4> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few of my favorite moves for kettlebell exercise:</span></h4> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><ul> <li>The Kettlebell Row</li> </ul> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold one kettlebell in each hand with your arms down by your sides. Keeping your palms facing down, raise the kettlebells up to just above the chest, and then lower back down slowly. Do 12-15 reps of this kettlebell exercise.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><ul> <li>The Kettlebell Squat</li> </ul> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stand up straight up with your feet shoulder-width apart for this kettlebell exercise. Grab a single kettlebell with both hands. Lift the kettlebell to your chest level and hold it there as you perform a standard squat. Keep your back straight as you perform the squat. Try to do 15-20, but be sure to stop if your form starts to change.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><ul> <li>The Kettlebell Twist</li> </ul> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lay down on your back like you’re going to do situps, with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Hold the kettlebell with your hands near your chest and sit up halfway with a straight back. Swing the kettlebell to the right as you turn your torso to the right, then swing and turn to the left. Be sure to twist from side to side, you should not move up and down during this kettlebell exercise. Repeat 20 times or as many times as you can without dropping.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><ul> <li>The Kettlebell Push-up</li> </ul> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Put two kettlebells of the same weight on the ground with the handles up. Space them so they are shoulder-width apart. Perform standard push-ups with your hands firmly grasped around the kettlebell handles. To get really aggressive with this kettlebell exercise, pull one of the kettlebells up to your armpit after completing the push-up. If you do this, be sure to alternate arms. Try to work up to 15-20.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> <br /><b>Whew! Kettlebell exercise is great for building muscle, I hope you enjoyed the workout. Do you have any favorite moves you like to do during kettlebell exercise? I’d love to hear them!</b></span><br />

Try this out on one of those days you can’t make it to the gym but can spare a few minutes at home.<br /> </span><br /> <h4> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Foam Roller Workout:</span></h4> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chair Hold: Do a chair hold against the wall with your foam roller placed vertically between the wall and your spine. Hold for 30 seconds while lifting your right hand to touch the wall above you and left hand to touch the wall below you, keeping your arms straight. Alternate arms up and down during the chair hold. Repeat four times for this exercise in the foam roller workout.<br /><br /><br />Side Lunge: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hold the roller horizontally across the chest, with palms facing in on either side of the roller. Step into a deep side lunge, while lifting foam roller to straight overhead as high as possible. Return to standing and bring roller back to center. Repeat with opposite leg lunge. Do ten reps on each side.<br /><br /><br />Pike Roll: Sit in a pike position with the roller underneath your knees for this foam roller workout move. With one hand at each side, push hands into floor and lift bum so it’s not touching the ground. Roll legs forward, then backward as far as you can. Keep it slow and try to keep as little weight on the roller as possible. Do four sets of five.<br /><br /><br />Plank Holds: Hold a plank position with the roller underneath your ankles, focusing on keeping your back rounded and hips flat. Then, walk backward with your hands to roll the roller up to the thighs and hold the plank in an open shape, holding feet up as high as possible. Do four sets of ten seconds for each plank.<br /><br /><br />Sit Up Holds: Place the roller horizontally under lower back with your feet on the floor. Perform a sit up motion until abs are fully engaged, and then hold for ten seconds and lower back down. Perform ten times. You can intensify this foam roller workout move by holding weights while performing it. <br /><br /><br />Push-Ups: Hold a push-up shape with hands on the roller. Walk right hand to the floor on the right side and left hand to the right edge of the roller. Push up, and then walk hands to the left side of the roller and perform the same move on the other side. Do ten on each side.<br /><br /><br />Butt Lifts: Lay on your back with your feet close to your butt and on the foam roller. With your arms on the floor beside you, lift butt until hips are up and flat, hold five seconds and lower back down. Repeat this foam roller workout exercise ten times. <br /><br /><br />Leg Lifts: Lay on back with knees bent and feet on the foam roller. Extend the left leg out, keeping the right leg on the roller. Lift as high as you can with straight leg, then lower back down. Repeat ten times, then switch to right leg. Do three sets on each leg.<br /><br /><br />Warning: this foam roller workout can be pretty difficult to begin. Feel free to start with smaller numbers and work your way up. Also, this is a workout, not stretching; you can refer to my <a href="http://www.afitnurse.com/2014/11/the-foam-roller-and-sore-muscle-recovery.html">other blog post</a> about using a foam roller for myofascial release if that’s what your goal is. <br /><br /><br /><b>A foam roller workout is a great way to get a really great workout in with just one piece of equipment. Time to get your fitness on! </b></span>

Each Elite Coach got a copy of Piyo Sweat as a sneak peak.  Let me just tell you that I left the 35 minute workout sweating, my booty was burning and I could feel it the next day.  But I wasn't bouncing around, jumping or doing crazy complex moves. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  It was a controlled movement that left me actually feeling energized vs defeated.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I am asked quite often why Team Beachbody doesn't have a Yoga Series.  Well this is it! This is going to be a game changer for so many people who love Yoga and want an option to do it from home.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
