A Warm Winter Workout

Are you ready for Spring? Does the latest Winter storm have you stuck indoors? Enjoy a nice warm cup of your favorite coffee or tea and then hit the rowing machine for 15 minutes. Jump rope or work out with your exercise ball for a few minutes. They say that ab exercises done on the ball are more effective!

The possibilities are practically endless. And you don’t even have to get out and brave the cold. While Winter's blast is keeping so many of us indoors, maybe this beach workout will help warm you up.

Getting to the gym can be a real challenge this time of year. Why not get some refreshing exercise in the comfort of home?

Science has carefully explained the stretch, but many of us seem to refuse to take the lesson. The stretch extends the body so that the veins, where congestion is most liable to take place and where pressure of blood is weakest, are so elongated that the blood flows more easily from the arteries, where the pressure is strongest, through the veins back to the heart and circulation is equalized and stimulated.

This effective, 30-minute routine uses a special blend of Yoga and Pilates-inspired body weight exercises mixed with plyometric moves and several short rest periods to challenge the abs and build strength. You'll have a blast as you engage all of the muscles of the body and develop a firm and shapely physique with this intense beach body workout.

Enjoy the Winter season with some energizing exercise.
