The secrets of her workout, which she is doing from home during this period, has been revealed by her trainer: Don Saladino! Do you want to discover with us the homemade workout of Blake Lively?
The personal trainer Don Saladino has denied all those who support celebrities only train in the gym, showing us all that constant and effective training is also possible from home! Training from home is in fact very useful not only to keep us in shape but to help our immune system stay strong, keeping the muscles trained. The exercises to do consistently are 4 and simple:
PUSH-UPS:
A push-up is a free body exercise that involves all the muscles, the position to be adopted is the plank position: body in a prone position (belly down), arms stretched with the hands resting on the ground and feet together resting on the forefoot. Let’s move on to the execution: slowly push the body down with the arms and elbows that are close to the hips (the elbows are facing backward). Once you are on the ground, push your body upwards levering on the wrists and on the lower part of the palms of your hands, until completing the repetitions. Don Saladino recommends 3-5 sets of 5-10 reps depending on the strength level.
LUNGES:
They are the best exercise to train legs and buttocks. Execution: take a step forward with your right foot and concentrate on the left leg, you will have to bend it down to form a right angle. Stop a few centimeters before touching the floor with your knee, your right leg will flex accordingly. Again 3-5 sets of 5-10 reps.
CARDIO:
Cardio at home is not impossible! If you have a garden or terrace, take 10-15 shutters with a minute of rest between each one; otherwise, if you have a rope, skip it with joined and alternate feet for 30 minutes giving yourself three breaks of 3 minutes every ten minutes.
LATERAL BOUND:
The lateral bound are jumps made laterally alternating left leg and right leg. Execution: a large lateral step is performed making sure that the knee does not absolutely exceed the tip of the foot, while performing the step, make a jump, being careful to sink, involving the buttocks, to form a right angle. Moving sideways allows the hips to open, increase the heart rate and work faster.
