7-Minute Workouts for Your Next Vacay
While on vacation, by no means do you have to keep up an entire workout routine or follow your usual regimen to a tee. However, beyond the physical benefits, fitting in a little deliberate movement here and there can go along way with keeping your mental health in check and boost your mood. Here are a few of my favourite quick (7 minutes tops, I promise) workouts that require absolutely no equipment.
An amazing pilates-based sequence that leaves your upper body feeling toned and strong. Tasha walks you through the exercises clearly with no equipment required and little space required.
I discovered this lil booty routine throughout the pandemic, and ended up doing it almost every day (for my booty and for my sanity). Now, as we start to travel again, it translates perfectly for when we're limited in space and equipment. This pilates-based sequence can be done literally anywhere and despite being short, is very effective and will have your booty burning in no time.
3. 6-MINUTE SLIDER CORE/ AB CIRCUIT
A core circuit by yours truly, incorporating three plank variations for optimal core recruitment despite minimal duration. All you'll need is a pair of socks or towel, and a slippery surface for your feet to slide.
30 SECONDS PLANK TO BEAR PLANK
From plank position on the forearms or hands, drag legs in so both knees are directly under hips, and press back to extend legs into plank.
30 SECONDS SAW PLANK
Holding plank position, shift bodyweight forward by pointing toes, then flex to return. Continue shifting back and forth.
30 SECONDS PLANK TO PIKE
From plank position, shift weight forward into your hands/ elbows. Point toes, draw in/ engage core, and lift hips towards the ceiling. Lower hips into plank, and repeat.
Rest 30 seconds, and repeat 3 more times.
Let me know if you give these a try! xx
