Just because we hit the summer months, that doesn’t mean we should stop training. Unfortunately, it does for a lot of you out there. When we’re in the holiday mindset, the excuses start piling up. “There’s no gym.” “I’m too busy visiting all my family.” “I have so much to get done while I’m back home.” “Relax we’re on holiday, let’s just go to the beach.” I could name a thousand other reasons that I hear from my clients year after year. You may be fooling yourself, but you’re not fooling me!
I’ve spent the last several months battling my own health issues. This humbling experience has taught me never to take my body and health for granted, but it also makes it even less believable when people neglect their bodies. We all have 24 hours in a day. We all have busy lives. We all have our own mental or physical obstacles, whether they are big or small. And all of these things are relevant.
In the end though, we only have one body. So do you want to live healthily, feel good and look good? This should be an easy question to answer ‘yes’ to! And if you said ‘no,’ I strongly suggest you think about why.
With that little tangent complete, here’s the deal. Because I care about you and your health, I have a program set up for you to do wherever you are. Find just 20 minutes per day and get it done. We both know you have 20 minutes, so don’t let any of those excuses hold you back! The worst-case scenario is that you’ll maintain your current fitness level.
Three to four rounds of the following:
1 minute jogging on the spot
15 squats
20 deadbugs
25 jumping jacks
30 mountain climbers
20 prisoner walking lunges
10 push-ups
5 tuck jumps
If the exercises are unfamiliar, WeChat KaraK2Fit and I will personally walk you through it. Contact me throughout the summer and let me know how you’re doing. I’ll happily give you feedback, modifications, kudos or all of the above.
Now, what’s your excuse? Meiyou. Go train!
