Reflection: How Did You Unwind

christmaslifting

This week, it seems like I have been doing a lot of sitting!  Sitting to finish a paper, work on a presentation or plan out my finals week.  However, sitting for that long drives me CRAZY and surprisingly makes me extremely tired.  After long bouts of studying, I would sleep if I could.  This week, I chose to do a HIIT workout to wake me up a little bit.

I spend so much time writing workouts for my clients I spend very little time writing my own!  I grabbed a pair of dumbbells and began writing.  I turned on my Holiday Tunes and got to it!  I felt SO much more energized compared to if I had just sat there and went to sleep.

So as you’re studying for finals, I challenge you to get up and move at least once every hour.  Try breaking up a circuit workout into smaller components and complete each component during your study break.  You will feel so much more energized and refreshed when you return to work!

Have a great weekend everyone and good luck on finals!
