The Fastest Full Body Home Workout
As the one year mark of quarantine quickly approaches, many of us are feeling the negative effects of our new and not-so-normal routines. Along with the challenges quarantine has presented, the holidays and winter weather are upon us. If you are one of the many people impacted by a COVID shutting down your gym, holiday to-do lists taking up all of your time or winter weather limiting your outdoor activity - then this workout is for you!
This moderate intensity workout will help you tackle the recommended 75 minutes of moderate activity per week in manageable chunks. Always warm up with 5 minutes of walking, jogging in place or other low intensity activity to steadily increase your heart rate. Cool down with slow, full body stretching. The conditioning portion of the workout consists of 4 movements and should be repeated 2 to 3 times. Pro tip: break the 2 to 3 rounds of conditioning up throughout the day to help boost energy and metabolism throughout the day!
