Try this weighted core exercise to develop your low body strength, ESPECIALLY YOUR GLUTES!

Dumbbell Goblet squat with raised heels.


The prime movers are: glutes and quadriceps.
But you will also work on other muscles such as the calves, the entire core and even the arms because you are holding onto the weight.

Benefits:
The goblet squat shifts the weight forward allowing your body a better upright position of the torso,
The raised position in the hills helps to keep the torso more erect than if the heels were flat

Instructions: 
Hold the dumbbell close to your chest using both hands Place the hills on top of two plates or dumbbells, with your toes on the ground.

sit in a squat and make sure your elbows are in line with your knees
push yourself back

suggestion:
Try to get as deep as possible into the squat to maximize glute activation !!!

The same is when you start a diet or a new sport. To build a new habit it takes courage and commitment  I'll explain why: Imagine habits as neural pathways, your brain is full of old pathways, and to make room for a new habit you have to insert a new path into your old ones. The new path will be established after you have repeated your new behavior for 45 days, regardless of whether you feel good or not. (Loretta Graziano Breuning, 2015) Unfamiliar feelings are dangerous and exhausting, that's why we want to give up and stick to familiar feelings, that's why it's so hard to embrace change, but with commitment if you stick to the new habit for 45 days you will eventually feel so good because at that point the new path in your...

  Questo è un momento della storia particolarmente pericoloso per non sapere chi siamo o non fidarci di noi stessi . La stabilita’ che non riusciamo a trovare nel mondo dobbiamo crearla dentro di noi.

Celebrate uncertainty, because only through uncertainty is there potential for understanding. During my studies I came across this work: Whether we are aware of it or not, we are continually bombarded with information. This comes from our body and the world around us. What does this information look like? Take a moment to think about (i) what senses are available right now and (ii) what information you might be receiving through these senses. Write down your ideas in the comments section below.: "my senses right now tell me there are endless possibilities for us out there to explore, but we just don't know how, we lack the tools" Although I was asked about the 5 senses I responded by looking beyond the 5 senses and expressed how I feel to be here at this moment, in this part of the world and at this time of day. So I guess this is how I perceive the question and the world. we all see the same thing but perceive it differently Someone replied" I'm in the kitchen ...
