It’s official, the country has frozen over. It’s -1 degree in Boston!! I hope it’s warmer wherever you are. I know that the likelihood of me leaving my apartment today is slim to none but that won’t stop me from getting a workout in. Try this winter workout at home. You don’t need any equipment at all…all you need is a timer.
I included some pictures from my summer fitness series with Cave Girl in the City to inspire some warmth 😉

I’m always looking for exercises that I can do inside, I’m in New Jersey and we’re getting the same wind chill you are! Running outside isn’t exactly high on my list of to-do’s.
I feel your pain Victoria!! That’s why I love these workouts, I can even do them in fuzzy socks — though not recommended for safety!
These look easy to follow! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
No problemo, enjoy!
