CARLTON

Carlton is a AAAI & CrossFit Endurance Certified Personal Trainer and 7-year veteran of the U.S. Navy. Carlton is an avid triathlete, rock-climber, and proponent of non-traditional training methods and techniques. Using bodyweight and odd-objects helps strengthen the body and core in ways that restrictive machines cannot. Carlton keeps his clients challenged by increasing balance, stability and agility levels for exercises rather than simply increasing weights. If your goal is to develop a strong core, improve body composition and fitness from the inside out Carlton will help you succeed.

Below, Carlton demonstates two variations of his favorite core exercise, high and low planks. Planks are some of the best core exercises because they engage most of the muscles of the core but expecially the deeper muscles that help one maintain good posture and a flat stomach. Schedule an appointment with Carlton today to learn how to properly perform this and many other great body conditioning exercises.
