It's that time of the year - vacation trips are coming to an end, school is already starting or coming up soon for the kiddos and fall will be here before we know it.
Vacation trips and summer in general often can throw us out of our normal daily or weekly routines and now is about the time where we all try to buckle back down and get back to it. Whether you are getting back into whatever your norm looks like or looking to start a new fitness routine; here are a couple tips to meet you where you are at.
This strategy may help adding some fitness related habits back into your routine OR add them into your new routine for the first time. Remember we start small - don't try to overhaul during this transition time.
For the next four weeks, just focus on implementing 1 cardio based workout and 1 strength based workout each week.
Cardio wise this may be adding in one walk, bike ride, run, hike, etc into your week.
Strength wise this may look like adding one body weight workout, one dumbbell
workout, one machine workout, a pilates class, a bootcamp class, etc into your
week.
For all my math lovers out there, that is only 8 workouts to add in over the next four weeks. Totally do- able. Can you add more than one cardio and one strength workout into your week? OF COURSE, but let one of each per week be the bare minimum to start.
Here is a simple body weight strength workout you can do at least once a week over the next four weeks.
Sumo Squats 15 reps
Push Ups - As many as possible
Walking Lunges - 10 reps each leg
Side planks - 30 seconds or longer on each side
3-5 rounds with minimal rest between exercises and rounds
