Winter Solstice Workout
Hi and Happy
Holidays and Season's Greeting Rx Muscle Girls!
This weekend (December 21st) is Winter Solstice (the days become longer by 1 minute a day), and with this wonderful day you'll find a change in energy and hopefully happiness and regeneration of your body and soul!
In honor of this most festive time of the year, we're not going to get into the not gaining weight thing (I'll save that until after Christmas... but it will be addressed! :D), but in time for Winter Solstice, here's a fun 30-minute workout that will leave you burning for more!
Winter Solstice Lower Body, Cardio and Abs Workout
Equipment needed (home): Barbell, dumbbell, jump rope, BOSU
Equipment needed (gym): Leg Press, Smith-bar, Leg Extension, Leg Curl, BOSU, Calf Raise
Always start with a 5-10 minute warm-up, along with limbering stretches (mimicking your actual workout) and let's go!
Each exercise will be completed with 3 sets of 15 reps, going as heavy (or light) as you like until you've perfected your form and then... HIT IT!
