Going home for the holidays means you don’t have access to LaHaye. But that doesn’t mean you have to lose your routine! Doing simple, short workouts from the comfort of home can be very effective in attaining your goals—no gym necessary. Here are some exercises you can complete at home over winter break.
Surprisingly, it is easy to achieve a full-body workout with a handful of equipment-free workouts. After stretching, we recommend beginning with your upper body and working your way down. To start, pushups are great upper body workouts that work the shoulders, chest, triceps and ab muscles. Next, sit ups, crunches, and planks are all very effective core and ab workouts. Finally, strengthen your legs by performing lunge holds, alternating lunges, squats, and calf raises. Obviously, this is not an exhaustive list of body weight workouts, so feel free to expand your arsenal by researching more!
Feel free to adjust reps, times, and workouts to suit your own fitness level and specific focus. If you stay consistent with these workouts 5-6 days a week, results will be visible within a month or two. The best part is, it should take no more than 15-20 minutes of your time each day!
