It’s always fun to look back at some of the workouts I loved from this past year. With everyone crazy busy this week, I thought it was the perfect time to pull out some of my favorites. Whether you are looking to work your core, mix up your cardio or do a quick killer glute routine, I’ve got you covered.
When training for my tri races this past summer, instead of always doing traditional brick workouts I came up with a way to mix it up to not only make it less boring but also more of a challenge. A traditional “brick” workout is usually a bike ride followed by a run. Here, I am doing shorter bike/run combos and repeating them. Whether or not you are training for a tri race, brick workouts are a great way to break up the monotony and up the intensity.
Core workouts don’t have to be crazy to be good! Sometimes sticking to the basics is the way to go. I incorporate these basic moves into most of my strength training days. It’s an easy do anywhere core routine that is also great post run.
One of my favorite workouts is this killer no equipment glute routine. This is so much harder than it looks and you will feel it the next day-I promise!
After just reading this again, I just decided to do it myself today! I am on vacation with my family and I need to stay on track.
What’s your favorite no equipment workout?
Linking up with Ann Marie, Nicole, Michelle & Angelina Marie
These are great ideas – my gym is closed for 2 days so I’m going to be stir crazy. Glute workouts are my favorite.
I love glute workouts too and I think I am going to do this one myself today!
Love all of these workouts! Thanks so much for linking up and sharing! 🙂
It’s always fun to look back on them thanks for hosting
I would love to do that glute routine. I will need it when the time comes to restrengthen!
It is one of my favorites 🙂
I might have to try that brick workout! That sounds great.
It is a fun way to mix it up and it’s harder than it sounds
I love theseeing quick workouts… especially the bike run. I’m not sure why I never thought ofor doing them like this before (well, not training for a tri) bit itsu a great way to mix it up, thanks!
I agree even if you are not training for a Tri its a great way to mix up your run. It’s harder than it looks!
I like short workouts where you need no equipment and you can do anywhere. Every little bit helps.
It sure does!!
That’s a good one! I have a routine that combines legs, bodyweight stuff and abs! Works like a charm.
It’s great to have a few quick routines in your Arsenal
It’s been a great year of workouts! I hope 2016 can keep up 🙂
Yes me too!
I might be using that glute workout when I’m in FL with no weights handy. Thanks for sharing!!
I’m having a challenge this week with limited gym equip so I plan to as well
These are great workouts – the glute one is probably my favorite! I don’t know if I could handle a brick workout…maybe one day if I ever want to do a duathlon or triathlon!
Oh I think you could do a brick whether you are training for a race or just looking to mix it up it’s great.
I’m actually not familiar with the brick workout, but I want to do a triathlon this year so this sounds like good training for it!
OH yay I hope you do and you will certainly be doing lots of bricks!
Great workouts!!! I like to switch it up some and find doing different workouts a good way to do that.
Yes have to keep it fun so I don’t get bored too
great collection! My favorite no equipment exercise? take a walk! 🙂
That always works!
All sound like great workouts! I’ve got to try the brick workout some time!
Bricks are a great way to mix it up for sure
Deborah, that’s an awesome list you put up. I had to pin them. I need to get back on my bike again:) Have a Wonderful Holiday!
Thanks! I put my bike away for winter and have to go to spin class until it warms up again
I love your workouts! Can’t wait to see what you have in 2016!
Thanks so much! Me too 🙂
Wow. That brick looks hard-core! I think I”m going to try that one out.
I think you will like it!
I love this post! Great idea! I hope you will be flattered if I might use this idea! Absolutley awesome as always!
Thanks and of course! ????
I often do a workout similar to your last one. My glutes really need the attention.
I know mine too!
Only 10 minutes, perfect to do while waiting for those holiday goodies to bake! 😉
Great idea!
Glutes and core = oh yeah!! Great workouts!!
Thanks!
Yes I love these workouts! Definitely need to do these after baby.
Thanks enjoy!
The brick workout sounds intense!
It is a fun way to mix it up sometimes! Hope you are having a lovely holiday
I loved the KISS my core workout, hehe.
Thanks simple but effective! I need to pull it out while on vacation this week.
The brick workout actually sounds really hard. Recently I ran and swam the same day and it almost killed me !
I saw that! It takes some practice but you will get used to it
That glute workout looks killer…in a good way! I am putting this one in the line up for 2016!
Great thanks! I know you will feel it
