Right now the kids and I are in MI. The weather is so cold. There is so much snow it's crazy! I am from GA so driving in snow isn't my thing. I'd rather stay at home and look at it from inside. However, you are required to shovel the driveways and side walks even if you aren't going anywhere so that gives you a little mini workout in itself. I'm not going to the gym due to the weather and the fact that the schools are closed so my kids are here with me so I need to work out at home. As you know from previous post I like home workouts too so I don't mind.
Here is what I did today and I hope you try it out. It's a cardio blast and it will get your heart pumping I promise! It only takes about 15-20 min but you feel like you just did a hour.
30 sec. plank
30 sec. squat jumps
30 sec. mountain climbers
30 sec. jumping jacks
30 sec. march in place
30 sec. wall taps
30 sec. alternating lunge jumps
30 sec. speed skaters
30 sec. plank
repeat 3 times with a 15 sec. at the end.
(You want to do as many as you can in those 30 seconds. Don't worry about counting just do it!)
Now if you need a break that's fine take it but make sure it's short. No longer than 10-15 sec and then continue with the next one. That list looks long but it really is only 5 min total. What I did was the whole routine and then took a break before I started again but it's totally up to you. Make sure you are listening to your body and if you truly need a break take a short one. Also try to push yourself because usually when you think you can't do anymore you can squeeze 2 more out!
It's a new year with new possibilities and I know a lot of people said that they were promising to workout and be healthier and it's day 6 so many people are already finding the excuse of the crazy weather to get out of their workout. I spoke to two who did that this morning. So, I thought I would post this to help keep you going with your goals in 2014. My goal was to stay dedicated to this blog and take to to places I never thought it could go and reach people I never thought it could reach! I want to help people and encourage them to stay strong and focused!! I hope to help so many people that I don't even know all the people affected. You have to go big or go home so that's what I'm doing with my dream!
More to come,
Stay Fabulous!
