Fit tips & inspiration to simplify your health journey.
#FITfriday I shared a new workout idea with our #F619sweatCLUB this morning, and maybe you’ve tried something similar before! (Read to the end to see it!) It’s called a #TRIGGERworkout or #Intermittentworkout! And I believe it’s a great way to increase your overall DAILY activity if you’re having a difficult time with a consistent workout time during quarantine because of - caring for loved ones - extra work hours - no equipment - motivation And so on!! ***** Here’s how it works:
1. Choose a TRIGGER- something that will prompt you to take action. It can be a timer (every 2-3 hrs), an object (something placed in a room you walk through often), or something that happens frequently (like your kids asking you for snacks 😉)! 2. Choose an exercise/movement that works large muscle groups and is safe to do without a warmup. (Bodyweight squats, pushups, crunches, jumping jacks etc.) 3. Choose reps/sets/time to complete. It shouldn’t be a exhausting, just enough to get your heart rate up and feel a "burn." Ideally 5x reps of 3-4 exercises. Or maybe a certain exercise or series of exercises for time (3-5 minutes). 4. CHOOSE to MOVE! Everytime you see/hear your trigger, CHOOSE TO MOVE! The goal is to find ways to increase your activity, which overall is healthier than working out for 1 hour and being sedentary for the rest of the day! Here is what I shared with the workout group: INTERVAL 1- 5 pushups 5 sit ups 5 jumping jacks INTERVAL 2- 10 plie squats 10 tricep dips 10 bicycle crunches INT INTERVAL 3- 15 reverse crunches 15 toe touches 15 superman lat pulldowns IF YOU TRY IT, please let me know your thoughts!

Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit? You are not your own. You were bought with a price. Therefore, Honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 |
