What workouts are floating your boat right now?
The ones below will always a have a place in my heart.
1. Full body workouts
I love full body workouts because mostly they are quick and dirty. My most common full body workout almost always includes 4 sets of 10 of the following:
walking lunges
squats
pullups
pushups
seated rows
overhead presses
triceps dips
2. HIIT
Bigtime love/hate relationship here. I despite HIIT, but it is over and done with so quickly and leaves me dripping with sweat more than being locked in a room full of green veggies would.
My favorite HIIT combo: 20 seconds of “full out” intervals, 40 seconds of recovery, for 20 minutes.
3. Functional/Plyo Mix
There is also a love/hate relationship here. Ok, more of a hate/hate relationship. Functional workouts are hard and leave me out of breath and feeling helpless. But they also make me feel more in shape that any other workout. I did these kind of workouts 3 days a week when training for a fitness show and was definitely in the best cardiovascular shape of my life.
To me, these kind of workouts include but are not limited to:
burpees
box jumps
squat jumps
mountain climbers
4. A long steady-state cardio session
By long, I mean about 45 minutes. My attention span won’t last any longer. But there is no better stress relief for me other than a good, long cardio workout.
My torture machine of choice: the elliptical.
5. Yoga
It may sound cliche, but I love how yoga makes me feel. It makes me feel at peace and confident, even though I still don’t really feel like I am doing *much.* However, my yoga is probably a joke compared to others.
