5-Day 30-Min Workout Plan with Morgan Pitcher
We’re whipping back into shape with nutrition coach Morgan Pitcher’s favorite quick and easy, at-home workout plan. So long, 2018 pounds!
Let’s be honest, everyone has been on cloud 9 with food galore over the past month or so, but now that the holidays are over, fitness resolutions are in full swing. The thing is–we’re all familiar with the pesky issue of upkeep. Maintaining a new year’s resolution may seem like an impossible feat, but not if you’re being realistic with your goals and the pace at which you carry them out. We get how busy the start of the new year can be, which is why these daily workouts are only 30-minutes long each! The best part? Most of these exercises can be done in the comfort of your own home. Be sure to also customize and adapt this workout plan to your specific fitness goals and physical limits. If it’s been a while since you’ve hit the gym, modify your rest time in between each set to something more sustainable. If you’re a total gym junkie, you can always up the weights and/or reps. This month, BWB challenges you to shift your focus away from weight loss or muscle-building, and to instead, approach exercise as a way to become more in tune with your physical self. In other words, learn to understand and listen to your body’s needs in order to grow and push your boundaries (mental and physical), but never overexerting yourself in a harmful way.
