It's
November and we're guessing that your fitness
routine might have been a little hindered by some Halloween candy.
Don't let that get you down! A bad attitude can lead to overeating, and with
Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, you don't want to be in a
downer mood. We've pulled some of our favorite holiday-themed moves to put
together a fitness routine that will blast some of that stubborn stomach fat
that threw a party during the Halloween festivities. Feel free to use it
through the upcoming holidays as well!
1. Creepy Crawlers
Save this one for every fitness routine! Start out on all fours in a plank position. Then cross one leg under your body at a time, switching sides. Feel free to go slow if you're a beginner, but be sure to speed it up and go deeper as you get better. For an example of this exercise, go here.
2. Powerful Push-Ups
Treat this workout like a regular push up, but count to five going down, hold for 2, then back up for five. Repeat this rep 3-5 times.
3. Zombie Fighter Kicks
Channel your inner Buffy the Vampire Slayer for this workout. Standing straight, kick one foot up to about waist level. Bring it back down then quickly turn and kick out to the side. Really press through your heel to lengthen your leg and produce a lot of power. Alternate legs 20 times.
4. North Pole Mountain Climbers
This workout is very similar to a creepy crawler and is great to mix in with any fitness routine. Starting in a plank position, alternate tucking your knees in to where they almost touch the ground. Try and do this as fast as you can 20 times. For help, click here.
These are just a few exercises you can use for your next workout. What are some of your favorite holiday exercises?
