Gotta keep on moving – that was the theme of this morning’s Christmas Circuit workout. When the temperatures dip below minus 15 and there’s a wind whipping across the square, making it feel more like -25, the only way to stay warm is to get the blood pumping. And then, because, you’re nice and warm and sweaty, you need to keep moving until you find refuge in the warmth of your car and home post workout. Sprints, butt kickers, box jumps, lunges, burpees, star jumps, pushups, amsterdams…all planned intentionally to keep your big muscles working hard…although 20 star jumps post sprint might have been a little ill-planned. Regardless, you guys rocked it!!
If you’re anything like me, you left today fully satisfied because you gifted yourself with an early morning wake up to experience a kick ass workout, surrounded by a community of cold-weather embracers, all capped off by a brilliant display of Christmas lights to reward you for choosing to #justshowup. That’s a winning start to the week!
Let’s continue our love for winter workouts on Wednesday!
