The Weekend Curse

Good afternoon! It's Saturday, it's slightly overcast, and I want to curl up in bed and watch Netflix. Unfortunately, I have to go to work in the ever busy Westfield shopping center in Stratford. Pray for me! I have a great work team luckily, but the weekends are hectic to say the least. 

My life is a balancing act at the moment: I've got a lot of uni work to finish in the next couple of days, and I'm also working today, tomorrow and Tuesday... not ideal. 

Where am I going to squeeze in my gym sessions?! 

Well... you don't need a gym to work out, my friends. 

In fact, everything you need, you already have! A passion! 

Get on Google or YouTube, and you can find thousands of workouts for all levels. One of my favourite workouts is the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. It's got three different levels which you build up to, and it's great for weight loss.
Yoga is great for beginners, or if you want something strengthening but low impact. You can get apps on your phone as well for any kind of workout!
A really underestimated workout is walking. Just get out there in the fresh air for 15 minutes and briskly walk, it'll do you a world of good.

I'm going to collate some at home workouts and post them soon. I'm not a certified expert! But I found it helpful (and still do) when I find workouts on the internet that I can do at home :)

So if you want to workout today but don't have time or don't have a gym/can't get out...

Here's mini workout for you :) It can be done in front of the TV, in your bedroom, kitchen whilst cooking, office on your lunch break...

SQUATS!!! x 10

LUNGES x 10

JUMPING JACKS x 20

HIGH KNEES x 20 (past or slow paced)
MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS x 20
PLANK x 20 sec

WALL SIT x 30 sec

Then repeat 3 times!!! 

If you're unsure of the moves, just give them a Google :)

Remember, the only workout you'll regret is the one you didn't do! Just a little workout every day will add up, I promise. 

Happy Saturday everyone!!!
