BIG BANG WORKOUT - 5
MOVES
At
runUmother we know how crazy schedules
get during the holidays.
And most likely you’re the
one who suffers the most
amount of lost time – which
probably means you have to
give up some of your most
treasured exercise time. So
what do you do? Give up
until after the New Year and
make a big huge resolution
to bet back to it???
Absolutely not.
Add these “do anywhere” high
outcome exercises to your
day – whenever you have that
spare moment (while you’re
drying your hair, walking
into the school for the
third holiday party,
standing at the bus
stop…wherever!).
WALK BRISKLY -
All you need is 10 minutes
of a brisk walk to give
yourself the energy you need
to perk you up and lift your
spirits.
SQUAT - 3 sets of 15
A squat done properly works
your entire leg. You can do
them with your body weight,
holding a baby (seriously)
or with weights in your
hands. Form is critical.
Stand with feet hip distance
apart and put your weight in
your heels. Squat down
(stick your butt out) and
come up slowly (count to 4
on the way down and
up)
PUSH UP - 3 sets of 15
The push up works all the
major muscles in your upper
body – it’s the perfect
exercise! First get on your
knees and lean forward.
Your elbows should be in
line with your shoulders. Bring
your chest down about 4
inches off the floor.
Slowly come up. (No booties
in the air - lean forward!!)
PLIE SQUAT - 2 sets of 25
This is another excellent
move – this one for your
inner thighs. Stand with
your legs wide, toes pointed
out. Slowly lower your hips
keeping your weight to the
back, knees stay over
ankle. Squeeze up. Add an
upright row for shoulders!
PLANK IT!
Never forget
to do your planks!
It will improve your
posture and make you look
taller and leaner! Make
sure your elbows are in line
with your shoulders then
lift your hips up. Keep your
knees or your toes on the
ground and lift your hips
off the floor. Suck in your
abs and try to hold it as
long as you can while you
breathe. You want to work
your way up to 1 minute.
So there you have it. Five
must have moves to keep you
feeling great in these
action packed, “no time for
me” weeks.
