Holiday Workout Just for Fun!


Holiday Workout Just for Fun!
 

It’s very simple – 1 a day for 12 days then we’ll see you back in class. 

1.    Lock in a time of day to do it – recommend first thing in morning, then do a good stretch before bed and enjoy a peaceful sleep.

2.   Draw up your pelvic floor and switch on transverse abdominals = CORE for each

3.    15 reps of each and 2 -3 sets, or for plank hold for 30 sec min.  Challenge yourself to see how long you can hold and beat your own record.

4.   You can do the below as a full workout if you want to do more.

5.    Have Fun!  Put on music, laugh with the kids while doing it.

Please note for pregnancy please follow your health practioners guidelines.  Would be recommended to forgo swimming, instead on hands and knees do single leg and arm extensions.  From 15 -20 weeks no upper abdominal work – can still do lower abs, just don’t raise head & shoulders off ground.

Have a very Happy Holiday Season!
