Master Your Movement and Form
Don't just exercise. Understand exactly what every movement does for your body so you can train smarter and see real results.
Understanding your body is key to getting results. This guide shows how different squat variations, like the traditional squat and sumo squat, target different muscles including your inner thighs, outer thighs, and glutes. I teach you the right form for maximum benefit.
The plank is a powerful exercise for your entire body. This guide explains how holding a plank strengthens your core, arms, and legs, which helps prevent back pain and improves your overall posture and mood.
The side-lying leg raise is a fantastic exercise for strengthening your hip muscles and glutes. As shown in this anatomical view, it helps define the area while also improving your balance, posture, and flexibility.
This simple bridge exercise is one of the best for targeting fat on the hips and thighs. Holding this pose helps build strength, improve your posture, and create a more toned and attractive lower body shape.
About Know Your Moves
Most people jump into fitness without checking their form, which often leads to injury rather than results. In my classes at Ayukshema, we focus on the anatomy of the movement. Understanding why a wide-stance squat hits the inner thighs differently than a traditional one ensures you aren't just moving, but moving with purpose.
The Anatomy of Every Move
Fitness is not just about burning calories, it is about alignment and intention. When I teach a movement, I explain exactly what it does for your Sthoola sharir (physical body). Whether it is a side-lying leg raise or a standard plank, you should know which muscle group is firing and why.
Why Form Matters More Than Reps
Many students come to my Janakpuri studio worried about how many reps they can do. I always tell them, 'Pehle sahi tareeka sikho' (Learn the right way first). If your form is off, you might feel the fatigue, but you are not getting the benefit. We use props like foam rollers and blocks to ensure your alignment is correct before we increase the intensity.
How We Train
- Squats: We break down the traditional squat versus the sumo squat. One targets your outer thighs, the other engages the inner thighs and glutes.
- Core Strength: A plank is not just about holding a position. It is about engaging your core, arms, and legs to improve posture and reduce back pain.
- Targeted Toning: Exercises like the bridge pose help in reducing fat in the hip area, but only when done with proper breathing and pelvic alignment.
At Ayukshema, my team and I guide you step-by-step. You do not need to be flexible to start. You just need to show up with the willingness to learn. Come for a session, and let's work on your foundation together.
