Here It Is!! FREE Home Workout #2

February had it all didn't it. Plenty of heat and plenty of rain. But that doesn't stop us from giving the pain!

Well pain might be a touch dramatic but here's the FREE March Workout for you all to complete at home. Remember you want to to try and do this at least 10 times during the month and if you're feeling a little saucy, you can alternate this with last month's program.

Again all you'll need is a stop watch and the set up is the same. Do each circuit 2 - 4 rounds (hopefully you're fitter this month then last of which you can add 1 circuit to each workout. Like last month you need to time the workout and beat it each session. Keep transition time to a minimum.

We will keep our warm up the same with star jumps and a light jog on the spot or around the backyard for 2mins then hit it hard!

Reverse Lunge x 8 each leg
Stability Hold Push Ups x 3 - 6 each arm (perform from an elevated surface if you need to)
Stationary Sprint x 20 strides each leg
Stability Hold with a Side Arm Raise x 8 each arm

How To Do Your Feb Fast Properly

We're a little bit laid back in Oz than other countries sand getting back into health and fitness is no exception. From Christmas parties and actual Christmas through December then New Years in January and Australia Day at the end of January, all of sudden it's February and you started back yet!!

And so Feb Fast begins for many of us in the hope that it can get us back on track to where we left off last year (hopefully the damage was minimal in the meantime).

So whether your doing Feb Fast officially, in the office or just for your own personal satisfaction, here are some tips to make it work for you.

Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail

We love this saying around here. Plan out your food. What you'll eat, how much and when. What will you do if you go out for dinner? How will you resist temptations? When and what type of training will you do?

Don't fail yourself by thinking you can do it on the fly. Plan everything out.

Go Boring

Be selfish. Dedicate this month to you and you only. Spurn those mates that want some Friday night drinks. Let your partner know that there will be no red wine kept in the house this month. Stay in and make sure this month stays on track. It's only a month really.

What Else Can You Improve?

While tour on 1 path of self improvement what else can you do to make yourself a better version of you? Get a yourself a personal trainer (i k ow a few great one's!), find a dietitian, find a partner to run the tan with. Make this the month you finally do all the things you say you're gonna do every year at this time.

Just Do It, And Do It NOW!!

Don't play that silly game in your head where you'll start after the weekend as I have that party on. Start now. Start yesterday even. Stop procrastinating because the only thing counts is "done". You get paid for done. You get benefits from done. You don't get anything from sort of or maybe.
