Resistance band above knees, on hands and knees, brace core, raising one heel towards ceiling, squeeze glute at the top, 10 reps on each side. day through my empowered women members only group. Empowered women members offer live workouts every day, a supportive group of women and a huge library of hundreds of workouts suitable for all women of all ages and fitness abilities. I understand that everyone has their individual fitness goals, whether it be weight loss, muscle tone, glute growth or just the feel-good factor, I have a workout suitable for you. To join empowered women members only please visit www. empoweredwomefitness.co.uk. My favourite product for working out from home is the fabric resistance band, they are small, light and can be stored away easily. A lower body resistance band workout can be just as challenging as a gym workout. Working out from home doesn’t have to break the bank, you don’t need a house full of weights and equipment. I love to use resistance bands for leg day. if you have weights at home fabric resistance bands are also useful for glute activation before your weight’s session or as an extra challenge.

As we are in a global pandemic and local business need to support each other more than ever now I thought I’d share with you a few of my favourite local business that I use on a regular basis.

THE WELSH JUICE COMPANY THE WELSH JUICE COMPANY are a local company based in Cardiff. The juices they offer are cold pressed made from 100% raw fruit and vegetables, all ingredients are sourced locally, and the juices are delivered directly to your doorstep. They offer four types of juices, Green glow, Immunity, Beet it and Just Celery. My personal favourite is Immunity it is made with orange, turmeric, ginger and pineapple, they all taste amazing and are great for a boost of nutrients through the winter months.
