Holiday workout . . . please!
Checking in with some of our veteran Boot Campers, I've discovered a plague of inactivity setting in since we've had this month of December off! Since I don't want to see ANY of this (meaning look at that guy to the left. . .this is not sexy) when you return to camp in January . . . here's a quick suggested routine you can do NOW! Please!
Warm up:
5 minutes (Run/walk your stairs, jump rope, dance, treadmill, stationary bike, etc. I know it's snowy outside so use whatever you got. Do extra time if your body needs it). Do 20 plies w/overhead reach, then stretch briefly (esp. legs and shoulders).
Workout:
1. Fwd/backwd lunge (ie R lunge fwd then L lunge backwd), 12 reps then start on the other side
2. Pushups, 12 reps (start with 4 wide, 4 regular, 4 with thumbs and index fingers touching
3. 5 crunches/1 situp, 5 times
4. Side Plank, 30 seconds ea side
5. Triceps dips (use a chair), 12 reps
6. Biceps curl (use your tubing or a water bottle), 21's
Go down the list of exercises 2-3 times. Finish with a cool down and flexibility stretches. Repeat this workout routine on 2-3 non-consecutive days beginning with today as the first day for the week (no time like the present).
Short and sweet. Get'er done! ;)
