Ashley Benson Workout-Routine

Benson is a girl from the gym. Aside from going to the gym, she enjoys doing Pilates, kickboxing and bar methods. Her flexibility and endurance is the result of her strenuous regular training. Include Pilates in your daily exercise schedule. It will help strengthen muscles, improve core and improve overall body performance.

Pilates

It is also ideal for weight loss. You can expect to burn 175 calories after completing a 50-minute Beginner Pilates workout. This calorie value can be increased up to 375 if you switch to advanced training. If you really want to lose weight, you should do a 45-60 minute Pilates workout at least 4 days a week to see the results.

Your mobility for your back, hips, and thighs can see some improvements from these types of exercises. Keep in mind, however, that Pilates does not enlarge or lengthen your muscles. It only makes your back muscles strong, improves your posture, leans your body; give an impression of larger body.

It can be an effective tool to tone your obliques (sides of the waist) – up to 310 percent. So if you want to achieve a leaner and more toned body, you’re on the right track. Eccentric contraction is important to achieve strong muscles.

kickboxing

Expect to lose between 500 and 800 calories an hour from kickboxing. It targets your arms, shoulders, hips, thighs, abs in just one workout. It has proven to be a great stress relief tool.

Kickboxing Training

  • Jab – It’s a straight punch. Your arm is straight and parallel to the floor and fully extended. That is, when the left foot is pointing forward, the left arm should be straightened.
  • Cross – It is the opposite of thrust. With your right arm extended, your left foot is at the back end.
  • Hook – This is where you hit with the lead hand in a circular motion. In the case of a hook, aim for the opponent’s cheeks and ears.
  • Uppercut – Uppercut is the upward thrust from the fist to the ceiling, as if you’re targeting the enemy’s chin.
  • Front kick – It’s like jab, but the only difference is that now you’re doing it with your leg. The heel of each leg can be used for this exercise as if you were aiming for the chest, the other person’s knee.
  • Roundhouse Kick – Just like a hook, here you use your leg in a circular motion, or you can say a circular kick.
  • Side Kick – The most powerful kick (compared to the above moves) when using your glutes (hip muscles).

Try this workout for 10 minutes. For example, combine jab, cross, hook and do it with one arm for 2 minutes, followed by a right arm for another 2 minutes. Combine other moves in this workout and increase execution speed as you become familiar with those moves. Make it harder by increasing the height of kicks and punches.

Your stress level will definitely go down a bit if you do it well and regularly.

Ashley is so energetic that it’s not difficult for her to make these exercises a part of her daily routine. She can do well and the result is in front of us.

Beam method

As said, she uses bar method to make her workout interesting and free from boredom. What exactly is the bar method? It’s a dance class that combines ballet moves with an hour-long base conditioning session, yoga, Pilates, and strength training. In this method, 10 minutes are reserved for upper body exercises, 15 minutes for hamstrings, another 15 minutes for the core, and finally 15 minutes for the feet.

It is said that you can shape better muscles, achieve longer and leaner muscles through this bar workout. You can take courses in the local area or buy DVDs for training videos in the bar. 400 calories can be lost from 1 hour sessions by a 125 lb woman who is in average shape.
