It is the best time of the year again, to be with the ones we love, relax, recharge……and get fat! Here are a few quick workouts to keep your body as close to it’s pre holiday shape as possible, or at least help keep you from being mistaken for one of Santa’s reindeer this Holiday Season.
Routine #1) Ten, Ten and Ten: Very simple, very quick, and no equipment needed. Simply do 10 jumping jacks, ten pushups, and ten squats and repeat for ten two minute rounds. Rest 30 seconds to one minute between each round depending on your fitness level, or how much egg nog you have had!
Routine #2) Shadow Boxing: Again another simple, no equipment needed workout. Start with a one minute round of jumping jacks to get your body warm, and then go straight into a three minute shadow boxing round. If you are new to shadow boxing, it is easy. Just imagine an opponent in front of you, keep your hands up, chin down and start throwing punches in two’s, three’s, and four’s while you move and focus on simulating a real fight. Repeat the jumping jacks, and shadow sparing for five rounds for a quick pre-glutton christmas feast.
Routine #3) “Forest, I can’t feel my legs.” Quick but not easy routine to blast your legs into submission, and burn some of those Ninja Bread Cookies off. I would write down all the details, but I have got a Christmas ham with my name all over it calling from the next room. Check out the video below for all the details, and make sure you enjoy the holidays……..between a few quick workouts!
