Workout Ideas for Sept 7-Sept11

Need some encouragement or inspiration?
Just try to workout 3 times this week for 60 minutes each session, or break it up into 30 minute blocks 6x this up-coming week.

Go for a walk/run: choose a distance that will take you 30 minutes to complete. Within those 30 minutes, pick up your pace for 1:00 each 5:00s. At the end of each 1:00 burst, you should be breathing primarily out of your mouth.

Find a hill that takes about 2-4 minutes to walk/run up. Complete hill repeats 4-8 times.

Head to the beach for stairs and walking lunges in the sand.

Take a yoga class!

Do x number of push-ups and sit-ups (varying movements). Each following day increase that number by 5/10.

Complete a circuit of squats, lunges, side-to-side speed skate, and jumping jacks: 1:30/2:00 each move for a total of 3-4 rotations.

Get a workout buddy---accountability and camaraderie!
