Simple and different : HEALTHY LIVING How To Make Instagram Your Extremely Supportive Workout Buddy There's a lot of fitness you can cram into 15 seconds. 30 minutes ago James Cave Lifestyle Staff Writer, Fashing Simdif Of all the shiny pieces of equipment at the gym, one of the most useful might be the little phone you keep in your pocket. If you load it up with music and download fitness and nutrition apps to keep you going, your smartphone becomes a handy tool that helps you stay healthy. And now that more and more personal trainers share some of their best workout routines through their Instagram accounts, staying fit is really easy and portable. "[Instagram is] especially great for fitness because it's driven by visuals, which helps people not only better understand movements, but inspires them to try the exercises and routines," Adam Campbell, the editor of Men's Health's website and social media accounts, told The Huffington Post. "Plus, by the very nature of the platform, it has to be presented in a very simple, easy-to-understand way. It's changed the way we present fitness content and has challenged us to continue to evolve our presentation to better serve our audience." We put together a full-body workout using nothing but Instagram posts thanks to trainers such as BJ Gaddour, the fitness director for Men's Health, and Harry Jameson, Esquire UK's personal trainer. This could not be more accessible, which means you're out of valid excuses for missing a workout. Instagram is good for a lot of things, but now it can be a great workout buddy, too. Abs 6 SITUPS FOR A SHREDDED STOMACH! Though you can't spot reduce belly fat, you can certainly strengthen and build up your abdominal muscles without needing any fancy equipment. And when you combine core moves like this with a handful of other moves that work your whole body in a metabolic circuit format, you'll burn fat every where, including the fat covering your abs. Try these 6 situp variations from the DENSITY DOOMSDAY workout in the new 21-Day MetaShred home workout DVD that launches this New Year 2016. Do each move for a minute for as many good reps as you can. Plug it into a whole body circuit as a core move or do 3-5 sets with 30 seconds of rest between sets. #MetaShred is coming to make you change!

Not only is his ab routine fast-paced, but it doesn't require equipment, which means you can do it anywhere. Legs #SweatADay Day 11: 8 minute Legs Yup. Leg day. 8 minutes strength and cardio.

Core Some new workout ideas for you! Tag a friend and go crush it together. Building back posterior chain post injury with straight legged deadlifts and TRX lunge backs with #30. Added strict seated press with legs in front of me for sets of 8 with 75-85# and then finished with a fun little ab move with the 20# slam ball. I rarely do "abs" because you are forced to engage the shit out of them in every move here: deadlifts, presses, and balance. Don't overdo abs and forget about the good stuff :) A video posted by emilyschromm (@emilyschromm) on Oct 4, 2015 at 10:15am PDT Women's Health dubbed Emily Schromm one of their next fitness stars, and her IG account shows why: It's picture after picture (and some videos) of what she eats, what her abs look like and how she got them to look that way. This core workout uses a medicine ball to add a little resistance. Shoulders ARNOLD PRESSES! This is the exercise that Arnold (@schwarzenegger) used to build the hulking, chiseled set of shoulders that helped him win 7 Mr. Olympia titles. The move was developed to boost muscle activation in all 3 "heads" - front, middle, and back - of your deltoids. The next time you train, do these in place of your usual shoulder exercise. Our fitness director BJ Gaddour (@bjgaddour) shows you 4 great variations to pick from in this video, including 2 dumbbell and 2 kettlebell options. In fact, the rotational action, where you go from palms facing you at the bottom to palms facing away from you at the top, is the standard way with which to overhead press a kettlebell. Yet another reason why kettlebells should be a part of your training regimen.
