New year, old workouts – at home!
8 Jan
I really dread going to the gym this time of year. I know everyone else will be there, working on their new year’s resolutions and I don’t really like to wait for a treadmill (I’m still kind of intimidated to use the weight machines so I primarily use my gym membership for the classes and cardio machines).
Luckily I have discovered these new (they are actually from 2005, but new to me!) workout videos by SELF magazine available instantly through Netflix. They are about 30 min workouts incorporating a variety of cardio, strength and pilates-inspired moves. And the best part is you don’t have to leave your house, trudge through the snow and cold only to cram next to some sweaty dude at the overcrowded gym!
So have you tried these? Require any equipment? I am mentaly bikini ready, but that doesn’t count
Yes, I’ve done them both! They both require 2-5lb weights. I have 3lb weights and for some exercises they are too easy (squats) and for some they are just right (shoulders). I think mentally ready does count, I’m mentally ready for the snow to melt.
