There are so many fun things to be excited for this season; a toned and trimmed bod should be one of them! Rather than spending hours in the gym trying to achieve it, I figured we would get right down to the basics with a workout you can do anywhere without any necessary equipment. These five moves target five parts of the body necessary for a Holiday vacation-ready physique!
1. V-Sit Crunch (Abs)
A Begin in a V-sit position, arms straight in front of you. B Using your abdominal muscles, crunch your knees in toward your chest.
Quantity: 10 crunches
2. Handstand (Arms)
A classic we all know how to do! Give a little bend in the elbows to engage your Deltoids and Trapezoids (upper back and shoulders) for more of a challenge.
Quantity: hold for 30 seconds
3. Side Plank Lift (Obliques)
A Start off by finding a side plank on your forearm. Feet should be stacked (feel free to find a wall to lean them on). B Engage your core, and lift your top leg up and down.
Quantity: 10 lifts per side
4. Single Leg Bridge (Booty)
A Rest one foot on a ledge (the higher the ledge the harder this will be) with the other leg extended in the air. B Engage your Glutes, and lift your hips until you find your body in a straight-line knee to neck.
Quantity: 10 lifts
5. Extended Lunge (Legs)
A Begin in a traditional lunge stance, legs should be bent to 90 degrees at the knees. B Engage all of the muscles in your forward leg to step up, and bring the back leg to your chest. Repeat on the same side for the full set.
Quantity: 10 lunges per side
Complete 3 rounds of this quick circuit as frequently as you can!
