Winters bring all the possible lazy feelings of all. If you feel super cold and bum out your gym routine then follow this perfect 5 minute workout which will keep you active throughout the day.
High Knees: 30-60 Seconds
Run in place while lifting your knees high to the level of your waist. Engage your abs as the knee comes up.
Up-Down Planks with Core Rotation: 30-60 Seconds
Come into a plank position with your arms and legs straight. Your hands should be underneath your shoulders and your feet hips-width distance apart.
Keep your torso parallel to the floor, and lower your right forearm to the mat and then the left, coming into elbow plank.
Step your right hand back onto the mat, and then the left, pushing yourself back up to plank position. Bring the opposite knee to the opposite elbow.
Jump Squats: 30-60 Seconds
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Start by doing a regular squat, then engage your core and jump up explosively.
When you land, lower your body back into the squat position to complete one rep.
Mountain Climbers: 30-60 Seconds
Start in a traditional plank — shoulders over hands and weight on just your toes.
With your core engaged, bring your right knee forward under your chest, with the toes just off the ground. Return to your basic plank. Switch legs, bringing the left knee forward.
Keep switching legs and begin to pick up the pace until it feels a little like running in place in a plank position.
Push-Up to Side Plank: 30-60 Seconds
Begin in plank position. Bend your elbows lowering into a push-up.
Straighten your arms and lift your right arm toward the ceiling, twisting into a side plank to make a T shape with your body.
Rotate back to plank, placing your right palm on the floor to lower into a push-up.
Straighten your arms, rotate to the left lifting the left up. Return to plank.
Lateral Hops: 30-60 Seconds
Make small jumps side to side as if you are jumping over an invisible line.
