Remember Christmas Day WOD at 7am on 25/12. Its going to be a great way to start your Christmas.
It is hard for a lot of people to stay motivated during the holidays when it comes to exercising. As always if you are on holiday with like-minded people who enjoy staying active it isn’t a big issue but if you are the only one who is keen to train but don’t have anyone around to train with you need to motivate yourself. Making sessions short in duration (10-20min most days) and early in the morning will work best as you can tell yourself its only a short session and no one will be around to distract you either. That way you have the whole day to do other things.
When it comes to sessions there are many ways you can put things together which are both fun and hard at the same time. Follow the gyms philosophy in making your training constantly varied from day to day. Include running and body weight exercises for a full body workout. You don’t need a lot of equipment to get a good workout. Remember these sessions are mainly to maintain fitness as it will be hard to improve overall fitness during the holidays due to time and equipment constraints.
Here are a few examples to get your own workout creativity going:)
Session 1: 20 min AMRAP: 10 Burpees – 20 Sit ups – 30 Squats
Session 2: 20 min Time Cap: Hard Run for 10 min – followed by 10 min AMRAP: 15 Push ups – 30 Walking Lunges
Session 3: Max Burpees in 7min 🙂
Session 4: 10 min AMRAP: Ascending ladder 3-6-9-12 etc of: Squats & Push ups
As you can see there are unlimited options available for you to come up with workouts. Find exercises you like doing and put them together in a workout and try to stay fit over the holidays.
