Mini workouts for weight loss are great if you over do things a bit during the holidays, or perhaps during a vacation or just a night out with family or friends.
Nothing cannot be put right with a little bit of extra effort... That's something I tell all my clients and I am sure you will agree even if you go completely off the rails with your eating and neglecting your body all it takes is a bit of grit and you'll make up all that lost ground.
But you can't do anything if you don't get of your butt!
My mom once told me if you want to get something done all you need to do is get of your butt and do it ... Jeez we even get to lazy these days to get of our butt to change the TV channel.
So I want you to listen carefully to my mini work outs which will have you shedding those pounds faster than you ever would imagine possible.
Work Out No1 : Walking ... Yes I know I bang on about walking but there really is no better low cost way of shedding pounds than a brisk walk plus as an added bonus it can be quite fun if you go with a buddy or a girl friend.
Work Out No2 : Climbing Stairs and Power Walk ... Now this one needs a bit of extra effort and I don't suggest you start climbing up the Empire State Building keep that for a few weeks down the track ...
A good starting point is say 5 flights of stairs of one flight for 10 minutes up and down then 5 minutes very brisk walking (power walking) and then finish with 5-10 minutes more stairs, If you don't have access to stairs you could try jumping jacks instead.
Work Out No3 : Using A Jump Rope ... I know you stopped all that stuff when you were a kid. Well to avoid embarrasment and total humiliation from your 6 year old daughter I suggest you don't do this one if you live in a home where everyone see's you in your garden or if you live in an apartment wait until those underneath have gone out for the day.
As I said your six your old will love this so you could make it a fun game for both of you.
Work Out No4 : The fourth mini-workout focuses on the upper body. It will take about ten minutes. The first minute should be spent doing step ups with a small bench or step. The next minute should pass while you are doing wall push ups.
Minute three should be spent shuffling across the room.
Place your feet at your shoulder's width apart. Bring the left foot to meet the right foot. Spread them apart and repeat the entire length of the room. Spend minute four doing pull-ups with your upper body.
Place a broom stick between two chairs and lie underneath it. Begin your pull-ups. The next minute will pass quickly as you run in place. Complete some one arm push-ups during minute six.
High knee lifts should consume minute seven.
The final minutes of your workout should be spent doing some dumbbell curls.
Ok that should be enough to keep you going?
I'll be back with some more work outs soon ....
