How to fit in a 30 Minute Workout over the Holiday

During holiday weekends, you might find yourself out of town, or find that your gym is closed for the holidays.  This doesn’t mean that you can’t still get a great workout in!   You can still get a great workout in just using body weight exercises done in high intensity rounds; meaning you can do them just about anywhere – like your local park.

Below is an example of a Cross Fit work out called “Barbara.”   It consists of 5 rounds of the circuit listed below all done with just you body weight, with a 3 minute break in between.  Three minutes of rest might seem like a long time, but you need it.  In Cross Fit terms, “Rx” is the prescribed reps, with scaled down versions from there.  The only piece of equipment you need is a pull up bar, which you should be able to find at your closest playground.  For me, there is a park that is only a 3 minute bike ride from my house.

I did the Pack level over the weekend, because I had done some hard running this weekend.  It was still a great work out that only took me 30 minutes, including a 10 minute warm up.  So even with everything else going on today, like friends and family in town, I was still able to get in a quick, effective workout– so can you!
