The holiday season comes with lots of yummy eats and fancy soirées, but after all the fun and festivities come to an end, it’s time to crunch some calories and burn off those gingerbread cookies! So, what better way to get up and get moving than in some magical celestial gear! I’m loving this new starry printed set from Onzie to kick start those early New Year Fitness goals! (Checkout one of my fave cardio workouts below!)
Here’s one of my go-to workout routines to blast off calories—anytime, anywhere! Happy sweating!
- Stair Master
Find a set of stairs or a steep hill: jog up and back down–that’s one set! Do five sets, taking mini 5 to 10 second breaks if needed. Stay active during your break by lunging back into a runner’s stretch (front leg bent in 90 a degree angle, back leg stretching straight), with 5 to 10 seconds on each side. - Jumping-Jack Burpees
20 jumping jacks, Then 20 burpees, (resting for 10 to 30 seconds in-between). Repeat 5x’s to get that heart rate up! If this feels easy, try a jumping jack-burpee, where you perform a jumping jack, hop back into your burpee, then perform another jumping jack. - Arms
Grab a park bench or low wall and do 20 tricep dips. Then, place your hands on the surface so you are in an elevated push up position and do 20 push ups. - Cardio Interval
Back to cardio! Stand in front of the bench and do 20 jumping toe taps and 20 high knee hops (land with soft knees to prevent collapsing in your standing leg). - Run!
Keep your heart rate up with a quick ten minute jog. - Abs
On the grass or ground, perform a side plank for 30 seconds on each side. Then, perform a regular plank for 30 seconds. Holding your plank, go down on your forearms, and then up onto your hands 20 times. - Take a 10 to 30 second break.
- Crunch!
20 bicycle crunches, then lay down, lift your legs to the sky, bend your knees at 90 degrees, stretch your arms out straight by your sides toward your toes, then crunch up and hold, pulsing your arms up and down for a count of 20. - Bridge Burn
Put your feet down and push up into a bridge pose, hovering your bum over the ground, tuck in your pelvis, scooping in with your stomach, and pulse slightly for 20 reps - Stretch or Repeat!
Finish by stretching your entire body, making sure to hold each stretch for at least 20 seconds—or repeat this sequence again from the top! Get fit, Girls!
