FEBRUARY PLANKS
Q. What is a plank? A. It is an important exercise that can be done at any
age. It requires no movement and yet, it
works on the most important group of muscles: the core. By having a stronger
core, you are improving your posture and preventing falls.
Q. How do I do a plank properly? A. In order to do
a plank properly, you have to position yourself properly. You can go on your
elbows and knees (beginner) and work yourself up to on your hands and toes
(advanced). The main focus is to keep your abdominal muscles contracted and
your back flat; balancing out your body weight on the four corners of your body
(upper and lower). |

Q. What is a
Squat? A. Squat is
a very important functional exercise because it mimics everyday motion such as sitting
down or picking something up. Unfortunately, there are many things that can go
wrong when doing this exercise. The most common mistake is to put pressure on
the toes instead of the heel of the foot. This causes unbalance, injuries to
the knees and misalignment of the lower back.
Q. How can I
do a squat properly? A. Many
trainers give the example of sitting on a chair. The problem is, too many
people don’t realize how they sit down and how to have a proper posture. |

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons lime juice ¼ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup cilantro leaves,
whole 1 clove garlic1 tablespoon egg substitute, liquid – (or 1 egg
yolk) 2 teaspoons prepared mustard ½ cup oil 1 pinch salt
How to Prepare: Put everything but half the cilantro and all of the oil in a blender.
Process until smooth. With the blender running, slowly pour in the oil until
it’s well blended. Chop the remaining cilantro very fine and stir into the
dressing. The cilantro taste is very strong. Start with just 2T if you like.
The vinaigrette is an excellent marinade for ribs or fish. If you like a
stronger lime flavor(for marinades) add 1T lime zest to the blender as well. |
