21 Days of Healthy Holiday Habits–Planksgiving Workout
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I hope everyone who celebrates is ready to enjoy the holiday tomorrow. The next few days can be a bit hectic, but try to remember to take a few moments to catch your breath here and there. I am trying to listen to my own advice by not making things to crazy for myself, so my tips to finish out the healthy habits series are going to be a couple of fun workouts you can do anywhere!
I am not the first person to come up with the “planksgiving” theme, but I thought it played off of my blog name nicely. 😉 Planks are also a great exercise that you can do anywhere that work all of the muscles in the body in some way. Today’s workout is all about the core. You can either do the workout as a stand-alone session or just add a few rounds at the end of your regular routine
Planksgiving–Core Workout
Perform each exercise for 30 seconds then move to the next. For a harder version, do not rest in between. If you need to slow it down a bit, rest for 10-20 seconds before moving to the next exercise. Rest 60 seconds between sets. Repeat 3-4 times for a quick 30 minute workout!
