We have a Nintendo Wii that I can use. Take turned with the kids and when not your turn continue along side them. Also Pintrest have great exercise idea for people on the go. Including no gym and hotel room activities.
Try something quick and easy. Try the 7 min workout on the app to start off with. Try something that you don’t need to leave the house and something that willget you blood pumping. Once that is a routine, you will find it easy to do more of an intense workout later on.
I like the 7-minute workout. It’s so fast that you can hardly justify skipping it. It requires almost no special equipment. You can do it indoors, so it’s no dependant upon the weather. There are several good mobile apps for it, and a version is already included in Incredible.
I found dancing to be the most rewarding exercise in the morning. Instead of sitting with a second cup of coffee dreading going out in the cold, or my long list of To Dos, getting up and bopping around to some motivating tunes on my headphones made me feel a lot better about facing our long coldest days.
The best way for me to stay motivated and active is to follow a few of the tips for gathering my gym bang the night before so I can just get up and go but once there the way I get the day started is jumping on the elliptical for 15 minutes then continue my workout
At least twice a week, I go to the gym and do HIIT classes. But in the morning what I always do is yoga with videos online. It’s free and you are still warm in your house.
My personal routine is wonderful for these cold days. I start off with jumping jacks. They are a great full body workout. I do X number, and each day I add ten more. I then plank, for longer each day. I finish with whatever other exercises I’m currently doing. Right now I’m working on my core, so reverse crunches, flutter kicks and leg lifts. But I always start with jumping jacks and planks. Full body, low impact, easy to increase.
I do just 10 minutes of ab exercises to get my blood flowing! It’s quick and challenging enough to make me feel like I’ve accomplished something just after getting up.
Try running a lap around your room, just one or two, as soon as you feel awake. Then go eat a good breakfast, all the while telling yourself how fun your run is going to be. When you finish eating, then go run a lap around your house. Then get your warm clothes on, and you’ll be ready to go outside and try! (Riding your bike is also fun😊)
I love Fitbit coach as you can choose the length of your workout depending on how much time you have. The workouts are great because you don’t have to think about what to do and you can do them indoors without any equipment needed!
