Always with a brilliant physical performance, Blake Lively counts three pregnancies, fantastic body shapes and absolutely modern looks in every public outing. Attention to new trends has turned it into a fashion icon, but where is the secret behind the shapes that make it look so beautiful? The famous actress of the Gossip Girl series represents the level of fitness we can all achieve with patience and dedication, at home, with the right guidance.
While staying home, Blake Lively introduces us to her personal trainer and bodybuilding exercises that are helping her keep her body in shape even during isolation, helping the immune system stay strong and train muscles. Below we have summarized 4 simple gymnastics exercises proposed by Don Saladino, the personal trainer of the actress.
The gymnastic exercise called "push-up" or "pumps" as they are called in our language is known as the exercise that activates all the muscles of the body. During the execution of this exercise, the body must stand upright, resting on the wrists and the palm of their hand until repetition is completed. Don Saladino recommends 3-5 sets with 5-10 reps depending on the strength level.
This is the best exercise to train the upper legs. To perform this exercise, one foot must stand backwards and the other foot must provide lower body lifts. Again, 3-5 sets with 5-10 reps are recommended.
"Cardio" at home is not impossible! Whether you have a garden in front of the house or a terrace, this gymnastic exercise is great for keeping your body in shape. If you have a rope to "help" this exercise, use it by jumping for 30 minutes with 3 breaks of 3 minutes.
Alternating jumps from left foot to right foot helps with spine training and also adjusting your heart rate.
