Workout at home and surprise yourself!
Training at home doesn’t have to be dull and predictable! To break a sweat and the old routine, make yourself a workout dice! (Or just use a standard one.)
Each side = One move:
- Squat
- Burpee
- Sit-up
- Plank
- Push-up
- Mountain climber
Set your goal for the duration of your workout.
For example:
- 45 seconds in motion and a 15 second pause
- Shuffle the dice 15 times in total
Total time: 15 minutes
It’s quick, it’s entertaining (ok, it borders on psychological torture when the dice lands on the same side twice in a row!), and it’s really effective!
Give it your all, and enjoy these breaks.
Are you a “take it slow” kind of person?

Step 3: Go to your Chakras!
– Do 3-4 different postures
– Focus on the extension of the body and the spine
– Take about 5 breaths between each posture
Warrior
- Stand with feet together and arms at your side.
- Step your left foot back into a lunge position, keeping your leg straight and turning your foot into a 45 degree angle.
- Extend your arms over your head and look at your fingertips.
- Repeat the movement on the other side.
Warrior I is also great for waking up the leg muscles and opening up the hips.
The Inverted Triangle
- Sitting down, take a deep breath and place both arms parallel in the air.
- Exhale as you bring your left arm over your head and lean to your right side. Put your right hand on the floor and use it to push yourself further into the pose.
- Return to the center and repeat the movement on the other side.
Start your day off smoothly with this movement that will stretch your neck, shoulders, back and obliques.
Head Knee
- Sitting with your leg bent, take a deep breath
- Exhale as you touch your feet and lower your head to your forearms
- Return to the center and repeat the movement on the other side.
Cobra
- Lie on your stomach on your mat with your legs shoulder width apart.
- Place your hands under your shoulders with your elbows tucked in toward your body.
- Straighten your arms by pushing on the tops of your feet and lift your chest off the floor.
- Make sure to keep your shoulders back and hold the position for a few moments.
In addition to stretching the abdominals and spine, the Cobra helps open the chest.
