A very relevant question today is from a lady who is wondering if she cannot get to the gym before christmas, will the weight come piling back on after making outstanding progress lately? And is there any alternative?
First of all, in replying to this, i have said many times that i think it is an extremely bad idea to stop exercising before christmas for all sorts of reasons that have been well documented on here. So let’s get that out of the way and i don’t want to keep repeating myself!!
Anyway, let’s look at the solution so you don’t put the weight on.
Option number one is trying to make your sessions no matter what! 15 minute blasts are far better than wondering what might have been! Anyone who has done them with me will know their value.
Option two is if you really can’t make the session, then you should workout at home no matter what!!
How long does it take to put a pair of shorts on and tshirt, and just go for it.
The workout
Just pick 5- 6 exercises.
Example
Press ups
Arm dips
sitting up and down on chair
alternate squat thrusts
plank
try your best on each exercise for a maximum best
So if you do 20 press ups, then your workout figure should be 10 when doing 3 lots of it.
For example
Press ups max-20
then workout number should be 10
arm dips max-10
then workout number should be 5
and so on
So you do the workout by doing all the exercises one after the other, have a rest, then do the other two lots for a total then of 3 lots.
This should last for around 20 minutes in total.
This time investment should be available to everyone, and will also have the added benefit of making you eat better, because you will not want to blow all that hard work!!
Hope this helps a lot of people in the same situation!
