Indoor workouts to raise your heart rate even when it’s freezing
Winter is *such* a drag. As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, we absolutely cannot bring ourselves to step outside more than necessary. So what's a girl to do when she still wants to get her workout on—without having to bear the brrrr? Look no further, because we just found some amaze indoor workouts that'll get you feeling fab during these looong winter months!
Indoor cardio
This quick but effective indoor cardio workout is fab and fun. It consists of a combo of jumps, squats and lunges—plus a full warm-up and cool-down to protect your muscles from injury. The best part? It's only 30 minutes.
Dance workout
Did you know you can raise your heart rate by dancing? Yep—dancing is a great way to get active, stay fit and feel good during the winter months. With this amazing 2000s-themed video, find a place inside and Dance. It. Out!
Indoor HIIT workout
HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts are fast-paced but provide periods of brief rest throughout the workout. This HIIT routine is low impact (meaning that there are no jumps—your knees will thank you). That doesn't mean it won't keep you sweating all the way through, though.
Full-body stretch
Never underestimate the value of a so-good stretch! Whether you're stretching to warm up or cool down, it's always our fave part of a good sweat sesh. This 15-minute vid provides a variety of different exercises, focusing on nourishing your whole bod. Plus, having a moment to sit down and stretch can help you remain centered, calm and relaxed. Win-win!
Keep your heads up ladies!! Spring is just around the corner, but in the meantime, enjoy an indoor workout to boost those heart rates! You've got this!!
