How to handle the end of year rush
By incorporating these weight bearing exercises
into your workout routine, it will not only help you burn the most calories,
but also ensure your are looking and feeling your best for the end of year
rush!
Jumps
Jumping
rope targets more muscle groups than jogging, challenges your coordination and
just 10 minutes provides the same fitness advantages as a 30-minute run. For
added benefit, bring the intensity up a notch and try practicing drills that
require extra hand and foot skills (like cross overs or double unders).
Squats
While
we’re on the jumping bandwagon, jump squats burn major calories because they’re
a weight-bearing activity - your body must work against force to
complete the move. Start by doing a regular squat, then engage your core and
jump up explosively. When you land, lower your body back into the squat
position. Try and do two to three sets of 10 reps.
Burpees
Most
people love to hate them, but burpees offer a full-body workout because they’re
essentially a jump, push-up and squat in one movement. Whether you’re a Jump
Tuck, Starburst, Yoga Flow or One-Leg Burpee aficionado, if you can hammer out
at least ten a minute (and do 10 reps), you can rev up your metabolism by as
much as a 30 second all-out bike sprint.
Cross overs
Cross-fit
workouts (often referred to HIIT) are effective because they pair three
exercises – pull-ups (do 5), push-ups (do 10) and squats (do 15)– and work
different major muscle groups. Plus, any exercise that takes you from standing,
down to the ground and back up to again burns more calories, because it spikes
the heart rate (if done quickly enough). Do as many reps as you can in 20
minutes and spice it up by adding jumping jacks or sit-ups and you’ll be
getting results on par with jogging for an hour at a steady pace.
