This is a holiday AND workout post. Yes the two can go together!
In Australia it’s winter, a time for covering up in warming layers, cursing cold dark early mornings and for a lot of people slowing down their physical activity and healthy eating. Time to get out of here! A lot of people choose to flee the cold at least for a little while and seek fun in the sun. Me too!!!
I am off to Thailand tomorrow but wanted to let you know that you will still be hearing from me so stay tuned!
I’ve had clients often go away on holidays and come back a bit worse for wear in the health department. Some of my clients have the best intentions and ask me for a program, some of them complete it, others not. I just recently said Bon Voyage to a wonderful client of mine who asked me for a holiday program. This client has achieved unbelievable results, she is truly inspirational, she works hard and her efforts show.
The guidelines I was given was she wanted something she could complete in her hotel room, she would be taking a skipping rope and wanted something easy to follow.
I don’t think she’d mind me sharing the following with you 🙂
Circuit 1
20 squats
20 push ups
20 crunches
100 skips with skipping rope
Circuit 2
20 step lunges
20 mountain climbers (like you’re starting a running race and jump the legs back and forth)
20 tricpe dips
1 minute high knee jogging
Circuit 3
10 x sumo squat (legs wide toes pointed out, sink down into squat, chest up slow on way up)
20 lat jumping (jumping to side, almost leaping then push off jump to other side)
20 seconds wall sit (back up against wall slide down til legs 90degrees, feet close together)
20 star jumps
These circuits are quick and easy, no thinking just get in get it done and you’re set. My client has the option to do 5+ sets of a circuit each day swapping them around or doing 3 sets of each circuit all after each other. Mix and match to keep it fun!
If you work hard enough with no rest in between each set you will achieve a high intensity circuit workout.
I will be sure to keep these circuits in mind when I am laying on the beach…. or maybe not!
