Weekend Workouts Inside!

Laura Sadowsky
October 12, 2024

Welcome to the weekend!

I know I said it last weekend, but it’s worth repeating:

Fill your weekends with movement, especially if you’re in a desk or behind a computer for most of your workweek. Go on walks or hikes, maybe play a sport or go swimming, and just try to be active vs. sitting on the couch or in bed all weekend binge-watching your favorite show. Get outside if the weather permits, and get your body moving.

These workouts are completely interchangeable, and hopefully they compliment your active weekend. Feel free to pick the one that suits your day, how you’re feeling, and what you’re doing that day.

Day 12 Workout

Time to Complete: 10, or more, minutes - your choice!

Warmup (Complete 2 sets of each)

W1, World’s Greatest Stretch (x 5 each side)

W2, Couch Stretch (x 20 seconds each leg)

Demo Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoPmgjyj9-Q

Workout: 6 + minutes of interval cardio

This will depend on what equipment you have:

My absolute favorite go-to is to see how quickly I can row 10,000m. This, of course, requires a rower and some basic rowing skills, so it may not be for everyone. My time is usually under 10 minutes.

My husband’s favorite is a bike interval workout on an airbike. He recommends 10-20 seconds hard at the top of every minute for 6 minutes. Again, this would require an airbike.

Sprint intervals can be done by everyone and anyone! This would work either on a road, track, or sidewalk, or a treadmill, just make sure you always keep moving and try to maintain the same sprint to walk/jog ratio throughout the workout (this could be distance or time - sprint 50m-100m and jog the remaining 300-350m on a track, or sprint 15 seconds, jog 45 seconds, or whatever works for you and your current fitness level).
