Take it Outside...

  


  Well here we are mid December and we were all hoping to be on the other side of the COVID pandemic. Unfortunately we are back in the throws of high case #'s, which was predicted by medical professionals once we moved into the colder season.  As some parts of the country move into deeper restrictions we are once again strongly encouraged to stay home and avoid unnecessary ventures outside of our homes.  For some of us access to the gym is a necessity to help with stress, health conditions and overall well being.

    It seems for most areas of the country we are permitted to take our fitness activities outside, as long as you wear a mask and socially distance.  The weather may not be ideal for some of you but it is worth a try to get outside for a quick 15 minute brisk walk or run. Outdoor activity provides positive benefits to your mental and emotional psyche as well as your body.  You may discover once you are out there and moving you can go another 15 minutes or more.  For those who decide, nope that 15 minutes is enough bring it inside and move through the exercises below.  Of course if you do 30 minutes outside I still encourage you to do the exercises below.

    Cycle through these exercises at least 2x.  
    unable to do all the reps, no worries, work up as you get stronger.
  • 30 Squats
  • 20 Step back lunges each leg
  • 20 pushups
  • 20 swimmers
  • 30-45 second plank
  • 20 mountain climbers
  • 10 Full sit ups or crunches
    Some good news a vaccine is on the way to approval, it will take some time until it reaches the general population but there is hope.

Sincerely Rickie
Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be Fit

  Resolution tips &            Bitecise workout     Whether it is the New Year or you have just reached a point in your life you are resolving to 'improving' something.  We make resolutions to improve ourselves, our lifestyle or financial status, regardless of your 'why' here are a few tips.  1. Create attainable goals, example: start exercising. Suggestion: be more specific and achievable.  Start exercising 10 minutes a day, 3x per week and grow from there. 2. Approach your goal as adding something positive rather than eliminating, example: eat healthier.      Suggestion: Include a vegetable in one meal a day, 3-4 meals a week.     Once these realistic goals are achieved re-evaluate and create your new attainable goal.  PLEASE prevent from creating a list of goals or to do's, approach one at a time, once you have reached your goal and it is sustainable then move on.  This is not pas...

      I don't wanna...     Here you can add whatever it is you just don't have the desire to do, whether it is a run, gym workout, etc.  We all have those days when you just don't have the desire and please remember rest is also good and important for the body.  Sometimes all we need is a little movement to get that adrenaline moving to get us started.  There may also be days where after that little bit of movement you decide nope not today and that is okay.          These bite-cise workouts are great options to kick start your motivation or to give you a short burst of movement to expend some calories and boost your energy levels and maybe your spirit.     This workout as always can be done with or without weights it does have a short warm up and some brief stretching.  Listen and watch for modifications to meet you where you are in your journey.  I have included the exercises below if you would like ...
