I’m a big fan of efficiency and sometimes that means doing two things at once. I guess it’s the natural multi-tasker in me. The challenge with multitasking is that sometimes (often!) doing one thing actually takes away from the other thing. But every so often, you find a way to do two things at the same time that actually makes both better and you get more out of the whole experience.
In this week’s installment of Fitness Friday, our favorite fitness guru Laura Coleman of Just Muscles shows us one such combination. Instead of just standing there while you lift weights, do some lower body strength building as well, such as doing a lunge or a squat! But of course, the key is to do it properly, which is what Laura will show you how to do.
Laura Coleman rocked my world a few years back when she helped me get to the root of all the knee and lower-back issues I’d had since my teens. In just a couple of sessions, Laura put me on a simple program of rehab exercises (unlike any I’d ever seen before) that brought my body back into alignment and actually fixed the problem that no physiotherapist, massage therapist, or chiropractor had ever been able to solve. I was hooked! We’ve been terrific friends and shared many clients since, and I’m delighted that she has offered to share her wisdom with all of you via this Fitness Friday video series. Laura lives in Portland, OR with her two gorgeous daughters. She works her magic at Club Sport and with clients all over the continent via the magic of technology (aka Skype). Check out her blog and website here.
