Going away for the holidays and can’t make it to the gym? Not a problem! Here’s a workout that you can do anywhere – the beach, the park, your lounge at home, your hotel room, a random field…
So if you are healthy and injury-free, take your exercise gear with you and don’t stop moving! Go through this workout x3 and you’ll be huffing and puffing in no time.
- Squat thrusts/mountain climbers (1 minute)
Get into plank position and run your legs backwards and forwards as fast as you can. - Jump squats (15 reps)
Stand with feet hip distance apart, drop down (keeping your heels on the ground), then use your arms to help you jump as high as you can. - Push ups (15 reps)
Start off on your toes and drop to your knees ONLY IF YOU HAVE TO. Don’t sag through your lower back – tense your tummy - Burpees (15 reps)
Similar to squat thrusts, but this time jump BOTH legs in and out, then jump immediately afterwards. - Hover
Lie on your tummy, clasp your hands together, forearms on ground, tense your belly, then lift up onto your toes (so only your forearms and toes are touching the ground). Keep your body as straight as possible and don’t sag through your lower back. If you start to feel pressure in your lower back, stop. Otherwise hold for as long as possible! - Pulse crunches (20 reps)
Lie on your back as if you’re about to do a sit-up – hands palm-down, flat at your sides. Crunch forward as if you’re trying to touch your toes and don’t let your shoulders touch the ground – keep pulsing upwards.
