Tis the season to move and be merry!
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of the holidays. It’s the chill in the air, the festive holiday decor, the lit up streets, and of course the time shared with family and friends that makes the season so special. It’s also a time to appreciate and take care of your whole body health.
I created a 5-Part “Holiday Jingle Series” to keep your mind and muscles on track through the busiest time of the year. These 5 workouts are festively fun, time efficient and effective, and will give you a head start for your New Years fitness resolutions.
5-Part Holiday Jingle festively fun workouts include:
• LEGS: Santa’s Sleigh Slider
• ARMS: No More Jingle Arms
• CORE: Cookie Killer
• CARDIO: Snowman Melter
• FUSION: Mistle “Toe Barre”
If you’ve missed the previous workouts, be sure to check them out too so you can mingle and jingle them interchangeably!
Now let’s finish off this series with a mindful workout that brings balance to your muscles and helps release holiday stress through a series of Pilates movements.
