Workout Wednesday on La Playa

Hola from Mexico!

The past week I have been down in Mexico doing a little work and play.  I was lucky enough to be a part of an amazing week of workouts, eating and fun with 11 women. We all came together as far as Hawaii, Seattle, Oregon and California to do what we love to do and that was work out. 

Thank you to Get Fit with Heather and Sweat Play Live for making it all possible.  Both these ladies have been amazing mentors to me and always are inspiring so check them out!

We did about 10+ workouts over the course of the 6 days and without being in our normal environments it made me realize that we are so lucky to have that fire to workout anytime and anyplace.

Aqua jogging in the ocean, sand sprints on the beach, intervals on the grass,  TRX and yoga by the pool or even a little boxing. We got it done and you can to. 

Pick one thing and get out and do it. If you need a little more motivation here is a quick workout to start or end your day. 

My playa workout from this morning. 

Start with a light 5-7 minute jog/run.  

challenge your body every 90 seconds to open up and do longer strides or high knees. It will allow your body to warm up and engage more of your core and hips. 

Squats-Start with your feet hip width and start moving into squats. 

Pull your abs in tight and let your hips sink back. 

1 minute

Reverse lunges on right leg with a high knee hold. Alternate sides

1 minute

Pencil jump to squat to plank adding a push up

1 minute

Reverse lunges on left leg with a high knee hold. 

1 minute

Narrow squats- feet shoulder width apart. 

1 minute

Repeat the above 2-3x through 

Finish with a final 10 minute jog/run or you can throw in some butt kicking sand sprints. My hamstrings are still feeling the love from these:)

This was a perfect way to start my day and get me moving.  Get up and move but most of all have fun doing it.  

 

Get Fit. Live Fit. Be Fit.
