2 leg moves for strong truncks

They are everywhere these days. Those big glutes and strong legs are splashed all over social media. Are you proud of the work you do on your legs or do you need some guidance? 

There are many great moves that you can do to get your "trunks" in strong shape. I am going to touch on 2 of them. These should be staples in your routine.








1. Squats!

I touched on what squats are good for in my blog post "Squats, what are they good for" but I want to have this move out front and center because it is a multi-dimensional move. There are so many ways to incorporate a squat into your leg day routine.

Front squat, Knee squat, Sitting squat, One-legged squat.....I could go on but I think you get the point. Squats can be done with heavy weight or with no weight.

What does the squat help? Well other than working all the muscle groups in your legs they help build your core and improve balance. You should be doing some form of squats twice a week.






2. Deadlifts

Now some people may think that deadlifts are just for power lifters or professional body builders...but you would be wrong. Anyone can do deadlifts and you do not need a barbell, you can use dumbbells or kettlebells, whatever you have available. 

There is also a few varieties of deadlift. You can do sumo, Romanian, stiff leg. Find what works best for you.







Those are the two staple moves that I think should be included in every leg day!! 

If you have some other suggestions please feel free to share.

Go for NO review

Ok, so I have started in the company Beachbody as a coach and they are really big on personal development and I need all the help I can get so I have stocked up on books and want to share some things that I learned.






The premise of this book is that a man gets a chance to meet his future self. That future self is very successful salesperson who is going to show him what his life could be if he made some changes.

The book is only 74 pages so there is no reason to not get this book finished in a day if not then two. 



Who is this book for?

This book is not just for salespeople. You do not have to be a door to door salesman to want to read this book. This book is for anyone who has a message to share with the world. You could be in telemarketing, online sales or work in a department store. You could be in charge of a charity or run a gym. This book is for anyone!!



What would you do if you hit your head and got a chance to meet your future self? Would you fight the whole experience, thinking that it was just a dream or would you embrace the experience and soak up all the information you can?

That is what the main character does. He watches and listens to his future self in hopes of taking this information back with him when he comes too. He knows that he wants to one day be this person.





Are you willing to be told No over and over again? Are you willing to put yourself out there wholeheartedly and basically sell yourself and have someone say No to you. When I say selling yourself, that is what being a salesperson is to me. I feel like I have to truly think the product is worth putting myself on the line and want everyone else to feel the love for a product like I do.

That is the point that this future self says. No is the way to get to the Yes! If you don't like being told No and you take it personally than putting yourself out there in whatever capacity that you are in, then you may be facing failure.


Should you read this book?

Yes, you should read this book and then share it! If you are in a position of authority of any kind then share this book with people under you or above you for that matter.
