It's Thanksgiving week! So we all will eat lots of good comfort food, sit around and talk with family and friends, and enjoy a day of relaxation. We all deserve it! You all have been working so hard with me and on your own. It's completely appreciated! So thank you for giving me your all in our sessions and for also going to the gym on your own and putting forth great effort to achieving your personal fitness goals.
This week, though it's Thanksgiving and some will be traveling, we can still make exercise a priority. We will be realistic this week and set ourselves up for success. This week let's shoot for 2 resistance training workouts and 2 cardio workouts. I recommend doing one of each workout after Thursday so we can burn off the calorie rich foods we will consume. Cardio is easy to do when traveling. Go for a walk or a run! Find a stair case and walk up and down for 20 minutes. Find a hill and do hill repeats for 20 minutes, resting 1 minute in between each ascent/descent. It's completely possible to maintain your workouts when there is a holiday in the middle of the week and when traveling.
If you cannot get to the gym here is what you can do on your own at home. All you need is a bit of space, 25 minutes, determination and some good music to keep you going.
Core Exercise Circuit: 4xs, 12 reps for each exercise, rest no more than 90 seconds between circuits, and try not to rest between exercises.
Jumping jacks (low impact= step side to side instead of jumping)
Squats
Push ups (either on knees, legs, or find a bench or bar that mimics an incline like the smith press)
Triceps dips off a bench
Walking lunges or stationary
Basic Crunch (legs up to 90 degrees for difficulty if you choose and arms straight above chest)
Bicycle crunch
If you are unable to workout or quite frankly if you just don't feel like it, do not feel guilty. Just get back on track the following week. NO PROBLEM! Guilt will not produce anything positive, no matter what it is caused by. So try not to have it manifest. Enjoy your time with your family and friends. Eat well and merry. And be grateful for what each of you have in your lives.
I am thankful and grateful for each of you. I have had a fantastic week and each of you have contributed to that. Change is really beginning and happening! It makes me so elated when I see it in our sessions! Thank you for trusting me to help you with your fitness goals. Have a great week and enjoy the turkey! I will be at my first UT football game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yipee.........
Enjoy
