"Home for the Holidays" Workout Guide



Stair Climbing:

• Use your staircase for a quick and effective cardio workout. Climb up and down the stairs for a set period, or mix it up with intervals like two steps at a time to engage different muscle groups.

1. Chair Workouts:

• Grab a sturdy chair for exercises like squats, step-ups, and tricep dips. These movements are great for targeting your lower body and strengthening your arms.

1. Household Items as Weights:

• Get creative with items around the house for resistance training. Canned goods, water bottles, or bags of rice can substitute for dumbbells. Use them for exercises like bicep curls, shoulder presses, or lunges.

1. Living Room Yoga:

• Clear a space in your living room for a yoga or stretching routine. There are plenty of online resources and apps offering guided yoga sessions suitable for all levels.

1. Dance Party:

• Turn up your favorite tunes and have a dance party in your living room. Not only is dancing a fun and enjoyable way to move, but it also provides a great cardiovascular workout.

1. Home Circuit Training:

• Create a circuit routine using different areas of your home. For example, do jumping jacks in the living room, lunges in the hallway, and planks in the bedroom. Repeat the circuit for a full-body workout.

1. Resistance Band Exercises:

• If you have resistance bands, they can be a versatile tool for strength training. Use them for exercises like rows, chest presses, or leg lifts.

1. Outdoor Activities:

• If you have access to outdoor space, take advantage of it. Activities like gardening, shoveling snow, or even a brisk walk around the block can contribute to your daily exercise.

1. DIY Cardio:

• Create your own cardio routine with activities like jumping jacks, high knees, or mountain climbers. Mix and match these exercises to create a high-intensity workout in a small space.
