She Does Squats
Hirst is seen doing squat exercises like jump squats and ski squats in her Instagram video. The exercise has a lot of benefits. Piedmont states, "Whether you're hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off."
She Does Lunges
Hirst is also seen doing lunge exercises in her Instagram video. She is seen doing jumping and curtsy ones. Lunges have a lot of health benefits. According to ACE Fitness, "Lunges primarily target the lower body muscles, but they'll call on your core muscles, too, because they're a unilateral (one-sided) exercise. Lunges can be a top strength exercise to add to your fitness routine. There are dozens of ways to vary them, either by altering the move or adding resistance — and the payoff for doing them is big, namely a stronger lower body."
She Does Push-Ups
Hirst is seen doing push-ups in her Instagram post. She is also seen doing burpees, which include a push-up. NASM states that push-ups have a lot of benefits. "A push-up is an exercise you can do anytime, anywhere, but only if you learn the how, what, when, and why of it. Incredibly, this ONE exercise can help you torch calories, build and tone muscle, gain strength, and positively impact your overall fitness, function, and performance. Due to its versatility, mastering this exercise can be vital to unlocking your true fitness potential.
She Does Planks
Hirst is seen holding a plank and side planks in her Instagram video. Allina Health reports that planks have a lot of benefits. "The plank is a simple, effective bodyweight exercise that strengthens your core, as well as muscles in your upper and lower body. Core muscles, which include your back and abdomen, help you maintain posture and balance as you stand, sit and move throughout the day."
She Does Bicycle Crunches
Hirst is seen doing bicycle crunches in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. "Unlike the standard abdominal crunch that works just the front of your midsection (aka the rectus abdominis), the bicycle crunch exercise works those front muscles, your side obliques and even your lower body a bit. Plus, it's a fun way to add in some variety when you get bored of the basic crunch or plank. So, are bicycle crunches effective? If you want a stronger core to improve your athletic performance or help support your back (or both!), the bicycle crunch is a great move that should be incorporated into your exercise program."
