Indoor Workouts for Cold Weather

As much as we love outdoor workouts, the truth is they’re just not as feasible as we approach the colder months. Some of us may think about investing in a gym membership or attending different workout classes, but for those days when you can’t quite make it to the gym, having a go-to home workout comes in handy. Try these indoor workouts when the weather turns cold so you never miss a beat. Pump up the jams, grab your mat, throw on your cutest workout clothes, and let’s get started!

Boxing

This is one of those sports we’ve all heard of, but may have never tried it for ourselves. (If Gigi Hadid does it, it’s worth a shot!) Trust us when we say, boxing is one of the best workouts for you. Plus, you can have a blast while doing it! Here, we have Handstand Trainer, Brianna R. break down boxing moves you can do on your own.

Pilates

The benefits you get from Pilates are endless. And we’re happy to announce you don’t have to invest in pricey studios to take advantage of the results. Speir Pilates instructor, Jenifer DelPozo, taught us some Pilates moves you can do right in your living room.

Core Routine

You know the saying ‘summer abs are made in the winter?’ 😉 Well, that’s reason enough to get to work! Lucky for us, ab workouts are one of the easiest to do at home because you often need little to no equipment. Karena & Katrina from Tone It Up walk us through an Ab Routine that will tone your tummy in just a few minutes.

Biceps + Triceps

A lot of the time, arms are overlooked. Thankfully, Trainer Karyl Sands is here to show us a workout that is designed to lean out and develop stronger arms! Here’s what you’ll need for this awesome workout: Thera-Band (light, medium, or heavy), set of dumbbells ranging from 5-8lb, and a long band with or without handles. Easy!

High Intensity Training

If you’re looking for a program to take you through the cold weather months, give Kayla Itsines’ workouts a try. The 12 week BBG program is a combination of 27 minute high intensity workouts and light cardio for a one time fee that’s cheaper than most gym memberships. Plus, if you stick with it, you’ll see major results.

Stretching

While most of us are trying to squeeze in a workout in the shortest time possible, it’s so important to make sure that we are taking time to stretch both before and after. Stretching not only releases tension and allows the body to move more freely, but also gives you nice lean and long muscles. Ensure you do so consistently and thank yourself later.
