Good Morning!
I hope you’re all staying warm and cozy wherever you are! I’m not used to the frigid temperatures and luckily it’s only temporary down here in the South. Whenever I’m outside, my hands start to burn, my eyes start to water, and I can’t take it! That is why I decided to create a 30 minute indoor workout routine this morning.
My workout involved a lot of jumping and moving ;I didn’t want too much in my stomach before that type of workout, but I needed something. I just had a banana with a cup of water to give me a little bit of energy.
Here is my 30 minute workout:
First, clear all the living room furniture out of the way! This does not count as your workout 😉 I usually do something like this on my balcony, but it’s way too cold right now for that.
The first five minutes is the warmup. (use an iPhone or watch to time yourself)
-Jog in place as fast as you can, but make sure it’s comfortable. (1 minute)
-Jumping Jacks Vigorously (1 minute)
-Imaginary Jump Rope. (1 minute) Make your arm movements big!
-15 Burpees (1 minute)
-15 Jump Squats (1 minute)
Take a minute to get a drink of water and twist a little to stretch!
-25 Right Leg Squat Kicks: (Squat down and as soon as you’re risen, kick your leg out and repeat.) (1 1/2 minute)
-25 Left Leg Squat Kicks (1 1/2 minute)
– Mountain climbers (1 minute)
–Jog in place as fast as you can, but make sure it’s comfortable. (1 minute)
It’s Ab-time:
-40 Crunches (1 minute)
-Plank (1 minute)
-Wall sit with arms straight out in front of you. What to make it more challenging? Hold a couple of weights or a large book! (1 minutes)
-Bicycle crunches (1 minute)
-30 superman crunches (lay stomach side down and continually lift up your legs and arms. Keep your head up and facing straight. Tighten your stomach and push it towards the floor) I like to squeeze the butt cheeks to get a better burn! (1 minute)
Strong Arms:
-15 Push Ups (any style you’d like) (1 minute)
-Arm circles (1 minute)
-Back to the wall sits with 3-5lb weights in both hands. Hold arms out straight in front of you. (1 minute)
-Front Jabs/Punches (1 minutes)
-Giant Arm Circles (1 minute)
Time to bring up the heart rate! Back to routine #1
-Jog in place as fast as you can, but make sure it’s comfortable. (1 minute)
-Jumping Jacks Vigorously (1 minute)
-Imaginary Jump Rope. (1 minute) Make your arm movements big!
-15 Burpees (1 minute)
-15 Jump Squats (1 minute)
You’re hot, lets cool down!
-10 Sky reaches (Reach for the sky until your on your tiptoes. Point your fingers to the ceiling and keep your body straight)
-30 Second toe touch (Relax the back and bend down and touch your toes. Feel the stretch for thirty seconds)
-20 Neck Rolls (ten on left & ten on right)
-20 Shoulder rolls (ten going forward & ten going backwards)
-Side reaches (Stand tall and reach with one arm to the side of your body.) (20 seconds on each side)
-Ankle Rolls (30 seconds)
-Butterfly stretch (45 seconds)
-Add in any stretches you’d like to stretch the quads and lower back!
If you give this workout full effort and work up a sweat, you can burn up to 280-350 calories! The amount of calories you burn will depend on your body weight, height, and how in shape you are.
It’s important to fuel yourself after a workout. Your body needs to repair and nourish.
It’s hard to choose healthy choices after a workout sometimes because you feel as if you’ve earned something unhealthy, or you’re super hungry! Keep in mind that your body needs healthy food and you’ll feel more energetic if you feed it the right fuel.
For my post workout breakfast, I had fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, and toast with honey. I also had a cup of coffee (after two cups of water) The eggs were cooked with olive oil, pepper, garlic, almond milk, sea salt, and 2 tablespoons of sharp cheddar cheese.
At what times do you usually do workouts? first thing in the morning?
hi my name is Terrance Lytle and I’m started this workout and exercise regularly and I ate breakfast 🥣 this morning and I hope you enjoy your day and I will try to call 🤙 you tomorrow
Any tips on how to get yourself to start liking vegetables? I want to eat healthier but the fact that I only really like carrots is holding me back 🙁 Love the look of your breakfast though!
Roast them! The high heat brown them and makes them crispy. I cut up whatever I have on hand-onions, peppers, carrots, cauliflower, etc- drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with whatever seasoning you like and roast at 450 for about 20-25 minutes stirring a couple of times. You can eat as is, add to salads or omelets or even pasta.
I agree with the suggestion to roast them, or pan fry them with bacon fat or butter. Either way, always use your choice of fat. Don’t forget to properly season, too.
fgjSlAyM9UD8 my cousin asked me the same thing!if I were you id try disguise them I know this osunds weird but eventually you’ll find ways you like to eat them try soups and if you like smoothies add some spinach you wont taste it I promise it only effects the colour 🙂 try raw veg and experiment Good Luck xxx
Can you give instructions on how to do the less obvious moves? I don’t know what burpees or mountain climbers are.
It’s really easy to find them demonstrated on YouTube or is you type it into your search engine there will be a few example.
Wow this is awesome. I needed a heart pumping 30 minute work out since it freezing here in MD. I am excited to try this!
love your breakfast, looks to hearty! take warm taralynn xo 🙂
This workout reminds me of Insanity….intense, but rewarding! Yum breakfast, too!!!
Man, that breakfast looks killer. Send some to me 😉 Looks like a great workout too! I will be trying that out soon!
Can’t wait to try this workout. Sometimes, I don’t feel like driving to the gym and at home, I have the freedom to wear whatever I want!
This workout was so helpful! My fiance’ and I couldn’t get out because of the snow and I had saw this on your blog so we decided to do it instead of being lazy all day.
This looks great! I can’t wait to try the workout!
Love this workout! Will def be trying this out! And yummy looking breakfast! 🙂
Thanks! I hope you like it!
I didn’t think I would be able to get even half way through this, but I kept going even when I felt like quitting and now I feel great! Sweaty and exhausted, but great!
This is a great at-home workout! Just finished it!:)
