5 Ways to Stay Active While Iced In

Hey everyone!
The cabin fever had already set in, so I wanted to share with you a few ways to stay active and keep your sanity if you get iced in this winter.

1. Treadmill-  Of course this only applies if you still have power, but it is a great way to get your run on without becoming one of the characters in the movie Frozen.

2. Plank it Out- This is an awesome way to not only work your core but it works all major muscle groups from your legs and back to your upper body. The front position can build up strength in your shoulders, traps and biceps; allowing for more possible push ups, press ups, etc. Side planks can strengthen obliques and thighs, as well as your buns hun. Start with 15 seconds and build your time from there!

3. Squats- with or without weights it doesn't matter, sink down for as long as you can while squeezing your inner thighs. Add pulses or or just do steady reps,  this will lift the butt and sculpt the thighs.

4. Dance- Throw on some music and get that heart rate up if running isn't your thing. Keep your abs contacted and you will be working your core as well. Pick 5 up beat songs and then pick 2 more with a slower tempo for a good cool down!

5. Partner up- Last but not least get someone to join in on the fun. Do some leg throw downs or some high five push ups. Everything is better together!

Be safe in this cold weather but enjoy today and when you can, happy running!
