Snow Day Body Weight Workouts
/SNOW DAY!!! YAY!!!!!???
So a couple weeks ago we had the first snow day of the year and the gym was a ghost town. My clients were dropping like flies because they were snowed in (or realized they had a great excuse… JK, I know you try), and immediately, two thoughts went through my head.
Just because there is snow, doesn’t mean you should miss a workout!
Some of them have kids at home, and they’re probably going to be insane!
Now, since that day was the first snow day of the year, I wasn’t super worried. I was confident that the kids would want to play in the snow (since the first snow is always pretty and not gross, mushy February snow), and my clients would realize that shoveling the driveway and sidewalk is a great workout (hint hint!).
However, now that it’s later in the year that may not be the case. The weather may not be nice enough to get outside and play (work) in the snow, or maybe you live in a condo or apartment complex so you don’t *get* to shovel your own drive!
No worries! I got you!
Here are TWO of my favorite super quick workouts that you can do at home, easy-peasy lemon-squeezy! They’re short, but they’ll get your heart rate up and make you use your body weight for some simple strength work as well. Bonus!
And don’t worry! If you’ve got little ones (or yourself) to entertain, you can sign your way through your workouts with these “12 Days of Christmas” workouts. Go through them just like the song.
On the first day of Christmas my Trainer gave to me: A plank for my hardcore body! (Just go with it)
On the second day of Christmas my Trainer gave to me: 2 perfect squats and a plank for my hardcore body!
On the third day of Christmas my Trainer gave to me: 3 walkouts, 2 perfect squats and a plank for my hardcore body!
Okay, okay, I know you get the idea. Fun right?!? Well, whether you think it’s fun or just need to keep the kiddos entertained while they burn off some energy and you get your workout in- you’re welcome. (And yeah, I realize every time you hear “partridge in a pear tree” you will now think “for my hardcore body,” and I’m not sorry about that either.)
