Speaking of the season, I have noticed that Christmas is in full effect just about everywhere I go. From malls to coffee shops, the halls have been decked.
I don't really decorate until the first weekend of December (that is also when I start my shopping), but I really love that everyone is already in the holiday spirit.
Today, I have a fantastic lower body workout for you to try. It can be done at home or at the gym in less than 30 minutes! (That will give you more time to go shopping). You also don't need any equipment for this workout, so there are no excuses. ;)
As always, check with your doc before you start any exercise program.
Lower Body Blast
This workout consist of 6 different exercises. Perform 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps of each exercise before moving on to the next. Rest 30-90 seconds between sets and always remember to breathe.

Resistance Band (optional)

Sky is the limit here! What ever kind of music gets you motivated to move.

What is your favourite way to work the lower body?
I love runner's lunges ;)

Usually the first weekend in December, for me.

P.S. You may have noticed a few changes in my tabs. I am in the process of organizing recipes and workouts to make them a bit easier to navigate, bear with me, ;)
