Workout Anytime With These Fitness Exercises
With the gyms being closed and the sun setting so early in the day it can be hard to find the time to workout. In today’s blog, we’ll highlight some fantastic Gooroo Courses workouts that will have you sweating anytime of the day.
Workout Anytime Outside
These first set of workouts are best done outside. During the winters months, it’s advisable to do them in the morning or on your lunch break while the sun is still up.
Jump Rope
Although you could do this inside if you have the space, you might not want to annoy your neighbors with all the jumping! All you need is a rope and open space, and you’re good to go! Jump rope helps with both cardio and muscle strength resulting in getting your heart really pumping.
HIIT Circuit Training
These fitness exercises workout your full body. They’re designed to be fun as well as really sweaty. Unlike jump rope, you can also do these exercises inside so depending on your schedule you can workout anytime of the day.
Biking
As a low-impact form of exercise, cycling can be one of the most challenging and rewarding modes of fitness! Either grab your bike for an outside adventure or, if you have one, set up your stationary bike in the sun.
Workout Anytime Inside
The next set of exercises are better to be done inside, making it easier to workout anytime that’s best for you!
Stretching
Stretching is great for rest days or after any workout. It’s important to take care of your body and release any tension you may be carrying. It’s also great for those who have to sit a lot — especially if you’re working from home!
Yoga
Yoga helps us to gain clarity and energy through breathing and movement. It’s a wonderful exercise to do before work to clear your mind, or afterwards to soothe your nerves and release any negativity that was accumulated throughout the day. This workout truly can be done anytime.
Ballet Barre
Ballet dancers have to be strong and flexible: making this workout the perfect group of exercises for anyone wanting to improve their balance. A barre is the elevated horizontal bar that ballet dancers hold onto while they’re practising their techniques. You will truly feel the burn with this workout!
Dance Exercise
Like ballet, dancing in general is a great way to burn calories and get your brain releasing much needed serotonin (a chemical that makes you happy!). Perhaps your inspired by the world of Bollywood dance and want to give it a go? Well, Gooroo Courses has you covered with Samadnya K.’s Dance Express series.
Cardio Boxing
Challenge your mind with a kick boxing routine. Great for self defence as well as a full alternative to a HIIT workout. Cardio boxing is all about agility and strength: which makes it a wonderful full body fitness type.
Some Tips for Working Out Anytime
- Remember, a little goes a long way. On days you’re busy, or feeling sore, even going on a walk or doing a stretching exercise is beneficial to your body’s health.
- Don’t hurt yourself! By all means it’s important to push yourself to get the most out of your workouts, but remember that we should be gentle with ourselves afterwards and we should listen to the needs of our body.
- Try to workout at the same time everyday. Being consistent with when we workout will yield the best results.
