#FitColumbus: Body love with Devon Moretti

“You may have noticed that when you move into positions your body doesn’t look smooth. You probably see dimples, wrinkles, rolls and folds.
This is normal
This is okay
This is not disgusting
This is just something your body does and creates as you move”

These are the types of things Devon Moretti reassures here followers with. She encourages people–including her clients– to lift hard, eat well, live fully, and above all, love themselves

A few of my favorite exercises that I would typically add to a “cardio based” workout: _ Farmer Carries: You can use dumbbells or plates as well _ Suitcase Carries _ Box jumps _ Mountain climbers _ Crawling _ Med ball slams _ Side to side med ball slams

Just a couple variations of hip thrusts to try: _ 1️⃣ Feet and back elevated: use two boxes or benches 2️⃣ Banded: Place a resistance band round your thighs 3️⃣ Single leg _ Keep your feet wider than hip distance. _ Push through your heels and thrust up at the hips, squeezing your glutes at the top like your squeezing a penny between your butt cheeks. _ You should feel this in your booty — you should not feel this in your low back or cramping in your hamstrings. _ #ddmfeetandbackelevatedbridge #ddmbandedbridge #ddmsingleleghipthrust

Two great single leg exercises: lateral lunges and reverse lunges _ When you perform lateral lunges, sit back into the hips. This is easily one of my favorite single leg movements — @jamesfryernmt added it to my last program and it was killer _ When you lunge do not to drive through your toes — think about planting the feet into the floor and pushing through the heel. _ You don’t need to go super heavy on these movements. Start with body weight and increase as needed. _ #ddmlaterallunge #ddmreverselunge

Just playing around in my bikini on the beach trying to attempt a single leg squat and not worried about what my body looks like as I move around. _ It’s completely normal for your body to make rolls when you move into different positions. It’s not weird. It’s not disgusting. It’s normal. #BikiniBody #EatLiftLiveLoveYourSelf
