Winter weather pushing you inside???


Some of us are fair weather runners or walkers, especially if you live in the mid west where you experience sub-zero temps.  Maybe you just don't like the cold or the roads may not be safe to travel.  

Here is a plan for anyone to do at home with or without equipment.

Warm-up: 

  • Start off with 8 count of each of the following moves:
    • shoulder rolls & shrugs
    • alternating arm circles back
    • gentle rotation side to side at the waist
    • small deadlifts lowering hands to knees
    • small squats
    • alternating knee lifts
    • calf raises
  • Perform each exercise below for 30 seconds or 12-15 repetitions
    • feel free to add weights if you have them available.
    • short break between each circuit.
  • Circuit #1: Repeat 3 x 
    • One leg lunge forward than back, repeat on other leg
    • Cobra with 3 count hold - lying face down (prone), hands directly next to chest, palms down. Lift chest away from floor without using hands, as you hold squeeze shoulder blades together than release and lower.
    • Pushups
    • Plank jacks
  • Circuit #2: Repeat 3 x
    • Sumo squat: Feet wider than hips with toes pointed forward, hands chest level with or without a weight. Lower into squat, tap floor between feet and as you raise out of squat raise arms overhead.
    • Plank full or modified add alternating shoulder taps
    • Hammer curl & side delt lift combo
    • Burpees 
  • Finish: Repeat 2 x
    • Scissor kicks: lying on back with straight legs lifted, keep legs straight separate legs than bring together and cross. Modify keeping head on floor and legs raised farther away from floor.  Challenge: head and shoulders lifted with legs close to floor.
    • Crunch with twist all one side
  • Stretch

Stay warm, stay safe & be healthy
