The lead up to Christmas is often a busy time for all of us – with social events and festive food featuring heavily!
Christmas does only come once a year though, so we should all enjoy ourselves as much as possible – we're not about huge amounts of restriction during the festive season here at Nutracheck. Instead, we want to focus on ways to keep moving in December to help us stay on track and feeling good – while still being able to enjoy a few extra treats here and there.
Exercise can sometimes fall by the wayside in these colder and busier months – but keeping some daily movement can be great for boosting our mood and maintaining our health focus at this time.
To help you do just that, I've put together 3 x 10 minute workouts, that you can do from the comfort of your own home. There are 3 different levels to choose from – light, moderate and vigorous.
Aim for 10 minutes of exercise a day for 10 consecutive days in December
Either aim for a mix of levels across the 10 days – or pick the level that best suits you, and do it every day for 10 days.
Notes
10 moves – 40 seconds of each with 20 seconds rest between moves.
This workout is low impact, with much more focus on core work – great for the days when you need a lighter recovery session or for those just starting on their fitness journey.
10 moves – 40 seconds of each with 20 seconds rest between moves.
This workout will get your heart racing and has some high-impact moves, along with some more slow-paced burner moves to really target certain muscles. This is great if you're feeling up for pushing yourself, but not quite going all out.
10 moves – 45 seconds of each with 10 seconds rest between moves.
This circuit is no joke! It consists of high impact moves and is designed to push you. As with all exercise you can take things at your own pace – but if you have it in you, go all in and give each 45 seconds everything you have for maximum effect.
Warning! This circuit is not designed for beginners.
