139/365 Winter Workout at Home: Sprint Strides

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

The temperature is dropping and so is my motivation to leave my apartment. Cold weather and rain are the major deterrents for going to the gym. I will provide you with some exercises that you can do at home over the coming days.

A staircase can be used in multiple ways to help you stay in shape. You can also do push ups and dips to work your chest and triceps. You can of course run up and down the stairs, take them two at a time, or climb them laterally. Here's another cardio move you can do: sprint strides!

1. Begin at the bottom of the stairs. Place one foot on the step (the higher you go, the more challenging).

2. While staying quick on your toes, alternate touching that step with the opposite foot.

Keep your arms active throughout. Don't let them just hang at your sides. Get into it and get quick. You can add this into your winter workout at home as a heart pumping interval in between those push ups and dips. This exercise works your quadriceps, feel your hip flexors burning!

In health,

Lauren
