Read on to see 5 ways Jaclyn Cordeiro stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She’s Consistent
Cordeiro makes sure to be consistent with her workouts. She talked about the importance of this in the caption of the Instagram post. “CONSISTENCY+DISCIPLINE+HARD WORK=CONFIDENCE in all areas of your life. Make the time to INVEST in yourself everyday.” The Mayo Clinic states that being consistent with fitness is very important. “Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”
2. She Wears Ankle Weights
Cordeiro likes to go through her day wearing ankle weights. She shared this video on Instagram of herself going through her day with them on. Cordeiro explained the benefits and why she wears them in the caption. “Why ankle weights? Sculpt/Contour. Burn Calories Faster. Better Breathing. Improved Stamina. Strengthened Bones and Muscles. Stronger Core Muscles. Ankle Weights Offer Versatility.”
3. She Does Core Workouts
Cordeiro has an amazing core, as you can see in the Instagram post. Naturally, she does a lot of core workouts. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video of herself and Rodriguez doing core workouts. In it, she and Rodriguez are seen doing starfish crunches, reverse crunches, and planks. Cordeiro captioned the post, “Summer core challenge 🇨🇦Grab a partner, select one of your favourite songs. Aim to complete this in 20 mins. Perform a circuit comprised of 3 different abs exercises (targeting upper, lower rectus and obliques) each exercise for 2 minutes everyday. Stretch post circuit for at least 2 mins, remember ABS are made in the kitchen and cooked in the gym;).”
4. She Works Out With Someone Else
As you can see from the previous post, Cordeiro sometimes likes to workout with someone else. This has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Exercising with a friend or loved one can make it more fun, and increase your chances of sticking to your exercise plan. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep you motivated. It’s also a great way to meet new people. It can even save you money. Exercise with someone around the same fitness level as you so you can spur each other on.”
5. She Uses Landmines
Cordeiro likes to do workouts with landmines. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing squats and lifts with them. She captioned the post, “Landmines exercises are a form of weight training that can level up your fitness game in more than one way, especially when your short on time. These versatile exercises demand full body engagement, increase lean muscle tissue, improve strength and sculpt those hard to reach accessory muscles ie intercostal. Landmine training allows you to maintain correct body posture, alignment and improve balance.”
