Lets face it, there is nothing worse than having to go out into the cold to move your body. Even I don’t like it. However, all you will need to do is follow these three simple steps, and you’ll be able to get your Body Movement in no matter how cold it us outside!

Ready
Just because you are not going to be leaving the house does not mean you should not get into your training clothing. By putting on your training clothing, it really does give you the feeling that you are going to be doing some Body Movement, but just in a different environment. So, be sure to put on all the gear, including your running shoes.

Set
Now that you are all dressed and ready to go, it is time to set up the scene for your in-house workout. Make yourself a circuit with the furniture in your own home. Use a dining room chair to sit and stand up or do tricep dips with, and put it next a small stool or step to be able to do step-ups with. Grab some cans from the pantry to use as weights for some strength training. Clear the hallway or a long area to do fast sprints or even a little trot if your heart desires. And finally, use your rug or carpet to be able to do some sit ups and stretching with.

Go!
Now all you need to do is set up a time for yourself to go around the circuit. The easiest way to do this is to is have stop watch or if you have a smart phone, use the timer on your phone. Spend anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute at each station.

Now let me show you how to put this circuit into action. So please feel free to use the formula of have set up below to get you started.

Station 1: Walk or trot the hallway or long part of your home for 1 minute for a warm up.
Station 2: Step Ups on either stairs you have in your home or a short stool for up to 1 minute.
Station 3: With your 400gm weights do some bi-cep curls, tri cep dips, shoulder presses (From previous blog) for up to 1 minute
Station 4: Lie on your rug or carpet and do some sit ups for up to 1 minute.

Now all you need to do is repeat stations 1-4 until your body tells you it’s had enough. My recommendation would be to start with a minimum of 15 minutes and then build up each time you do the in-home work out. You can also do this workout 2-3 times per week if you wish.

There are various other things you can do in your home workout stations as well, so please do not hesitate to email me at any stage to find out more. Happy home-working out!
