Holiday Prep http://corefitchicago.com/blog/2012/09/13/holiday-prep/ http://corefitchicago.com/blog/2012/09/13/holiday-prep/#comments Thu, 13 Sep 2012 14:51:19 +0000 Shayna Robinson, MSPT, PhD http://corefitchicago.com/blog/?p=117 Continue reading →]]> There are three optimum times of year to start getting fit: January–the start of the new year, April–start of the summer season, September–prep for holidays. This time of year is my favorite; the leaves are turning, the air is cool and crisp, there’s a new sense of starting fresh (think going-back-to-school) and we’re all getting prepped to see friends and family for holidays. I love to do comprehensive routines that tone and re-shape your body from all the fun eating and drinking you’ve been doing all summer long. I’m not one to fore-go a good party, so I have to get back to the core exercises my body knows and loves. Here are three great exercises to do every day to shape and tone your body in prep for the holidays. Combine it with cardio 5x per week and you body will stay stunning–even after the pumpkin pie.
