Holiday Hustle – Day 23

Holiday Hustle – Day 23

Option 1: Yoga.

I love to sneak in a good yoga class on the weekends. If I don’t have time to go to a studio (the transportation time and fees are an obstacle for some people), I like to follow along with a CD that I have, or with Youtube videos.

The great thing about videos is that you can choose the amount of time that you have OR you can do shorter videos one after the other until you’ve had your fill :)

Some Ideas:

·       Tone It Up [link]

Option 2: Active Rest Day.

Go for a nice hike with your loved ones, or take yourself for a walk and enjoy some well-deserved solo quiet time :)

·       Remember: Treat yourself with kindness – if you miss a workout one day (or two, or three), don’t beat yourself up! Just try to wake up 20 mins earlier the next day and smash out a quick HIIT workout AND try to make your next meal a little bit cleaner (and leaner and greener!)

Option 1: HIIT Cardio

Heart Pumpin’ HIIT

Do the following exercises one after the other – 50 secs on, 10 secs rest – for a total of 3 -5 rounds.

1. Jumping Jacks

2. High Knees

3. Burpees

4. Mountain Climbers

Option 2: Run

If you have a bit more time on your hands, head out for a 3 mile run!

·       Remember: Treat yourself with kindness – if you miss a workout one day (or two, or three), don’t beat yourself up! Just try to wake up 20 mins earlier the next day and smash out a quick HIIT workout AND try to make your next meal a little bit cleaner (and leaner and greener!) 

Holiday Hustle - Day 21

Holiday Hustle – Day 21

Freebie Day!

Try something new – either a new class (if you have the time), a new workout video, a printable workout, or a concoction of your very own!

Some Ideas:

·       Blogilates: When I injured myself after my last half marathon, I turned to this great blog to do workouts that targeted my core and didn’t hurt my foot any more than it already did! She has started to add more HIIT workouts as well, and I love her routines since they are short and sweet – perfect for mix-n-matching! Try it out HERE!

·       Peanut Butter Fingers: Another one of my long-time fave blogs, she is a personal trainer (and new Mommy!) who posts great workouts for the gym-loving souls, as well as some that are more home-friendly. Try it out HERE!
