Indoor Work Out

I thought I would take some time before we potentially lose power to right a very appropriate blog during Winter Storm Pax……my favorite indoor work outs!
Since this is probably going to be the worst winter storm North Carolina has seen since the 1980s I imagine I will be working out in the home 1-2 work outs this week.

Yoga:  When I am needing some zen and a powerful practice but know I can't make it to the studio I take the time to download a free iTunes yoga podcast.  Some of my favs include:  Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga with Kinndli, 20 min yoga sessions from yogadownload.com, & power vinyasa yoga with Lauren Hanna Foster


Intervals:  Too snowy for a run outside but still looking for that cardio burn??  That's when I turn to my Nike Training Club app.  This app is amazing!!! It will give you 15-45 minute work outs, and your variety is endless.  You can choose a body part to work, toning, cardio, strength, etc.  It's a great way to change it up!  Intervals change every 30 sec - 2 minutes so it's impossible to get bored with it!




Homemade:  If neither of these suit your fancy then make your own!  I pick an awesome playlist, choose 5-10 of my favorite exercises & repeat 1 minute each for 30-60 minutes.
An example of one of my routines:
1.  Squats
2.  Jumping Jacks
3.  Full Plank
4.  Crunches
5.  Shoulder press ups with 10 lb weights
6.  Bicep & Tricep Curls - 10 lb weights
7.  Lunges
8.  Heisman jumps

Hope everyone in the Southeast stays warm & safe during this ice/snow storm.  For once I don't think the south is overreacting!!  But know that you can still get a good work out in, even while snowed in!

We have never seen this much snow in NC & more to come!
