More than just a class, a cycling studio, and a bike. Peloton delivers a fully engaging experience
I’m home from Florida and ready to settle back into my daily routine. I must say I missed my morning green smoothies. Although my diet was a bit more lax on vacation {like eating handfuls of trail mix every night}, I did manage to fit in 20-30 minute sweat sessions 6 of the 7 days we were on vacation.
I like to stick to my workout routine on vacation because I don’t like the feeling of taking a week off and then having to ‘really push myself’ when I get home. Plus working out makes me feel good and feel less guilty about the few extra treats I enjoy on vacation — trail mix, margaritas, ghirardelli ice cream, and vino!
Here’s a recap of my vacation workouts:
- Sunday – kettlebell hiit workout
- Monday – cardio + strength 30 minute amrap
- Tuesday – strength + power lower body from my online training program {move first edition dvd}
- Wednesday – took the day off as we hit up Universal Studios bright and early; we logged over 18K steps so that was a win!
- Thursday – strength + tone upper body from my online training program {move first edition dvd}
- Friday – combo of kettlebell hiit workout & cardio + strength 30 minute amrap
- Saturday – plyos + core workout
Trying to get a good cardio and strength workout in can be seriously time consuming when done separately. And seeing as I wasn’t willing to trade rays of sunshine for hours in the gym, I was a huge fan of this cardio + strength 30 minute amrap.
Fat burning cardio exercises + strength training supersets combined to create a high intensity interval training sweatfest. And it can all be done it 30 minutes or less. Raise your heart rate while you tighten and tone!
