There comes a point during winter where I declare “fuck this, I’m not leaving my house”. Now obviously I can’t get away with that. I do have to leave sometimes, kicking and screaming in my snowsuit the whole way. If you’re like me and you find yourself hiding away in the warmth of your home as much as you can, then why not try to stick to a workout schedule for a bit? As much as I would rather choose a lot of things over working out I will choose working out over having to go outside in minus thirty. Here is a great and simple routine that you can do while keeping nice and toasty in your house. I put them in the order to do them in, and then a week day schedule. In the weekly schedule I have cardio in there as well. For cardio, try to do half an hour of running, jogging, elliptical, or jumping rope.

I gave you a whole week to follow, but take one or two days off a week so that your muscles can recuperate. Remember, once you get into the habit of doing it, it becomes easier and easier to do. Plus, if you start now that means that you can have that extra piece of cheesecake at Christmas without feeling guilty. Here’s to feeling strong and healthy to help beat the winter blues.
