๐ฅฑ๐๐ซโ๏ธ I often wonder in amazement how much running has added to my life, and having fun with various workouts is a huge part of it. So when this morning hubby and I drank our first cup of tea in bed, we had some fun chosing the workout weโd do together once up.
๐๐๐ ๐ฏAnd of course, it had to be one with a XMas scene, as we just love to celebrate the four Sundays before Christmas. And yes, our Advent-Calendars (plural) are up with more than just chocolates, the Christmas wreaths (also plural) are ready with 4 candles each and of course the Christmas tree went up before the 1st and filling with presents! (Ok, just one tree, but we will be celebrating and unpacking presents both on Xmas eve and Christmas Day ๐๐๐๐)
๐๐ฝ๐ช๐๐So Lucy Wyndham-Readโs new 10min Winter Wonderland Workout was the perfect way to start our Sunday!
๐๐๐๐ Itโs divided into 10 scenes with each having a different winter wonderland background and a different low-impact movement-combination that still gets your heart-rate raised and gives your legs and arms a good workout! That each scene is made up not only of a repetition of one movement but rather provides some more interest by adding another movement every 10 seconds, really makes the workout enjoyable.
๐ฆโ๏ธ๐๐ถAnd then there is the one-off owl flying by and icicles melting. The only thing I found missing was music, but as she suggests, once the workout has been done once with all instructions listened to, one can turn off the sound and just put on any Christmas music preferred. However, I personally actually like imitating instructors who follow the music. Having said that and knowing the complexity of music copyright, I do respect someone who skips the music rather than breaks any countriesโ copyright laws.
๐จโ๐ง๐จโ๐จโ๐ง๐ฉโ๐ฉโ๐ฆBut a great low-impact seasonal workout, and we had fun working out in sync as a husband and wife team (teenage son was still sleeping ๐ด) enjoying each otherโs movements, as well as groans. I do think this could be easily done with a whole family and have loads of good fun!
Happy working out everyone!
