XMAS WORKOUTS

CHALLENGE
BY @GIULIAOCEANA
INTRODUCTION
Ho! Ho! Ho!

As you may know, during the xmas break I’m visiting my family in
Italy. Here, I do not have any gym access or equipment, so I
said to myself: “Why not planning the best festive workouts
ever?”
During the holidays, I really want to enjoy some time off with
friends and family but I still would like to take care of myself.
That’s why I decided that my xmas workouts should be body
weights and quick but effective and fun 🔥
Then, I thought: “Wait, what is Christmas if not sharing
something with the people you love?”. So, the idea of making
this guide and gifting it to you came up and here we are, about
to exercise together during the whole xmas break - WOW 🥰🎄 🩵

Promise me something: you’ll remember to have fun.

Ready? Let's begin, bestie.

Love you always,

XMAS WORKOUTS
challenge
You’ll have 15 days of workouts over the Xmas break which will
be all body weight with no equipment needed and short (about
20 minutes) so that you can do them everywhere and at any
time. If you have trained with me before, you’ll know: they are all
designed to make you feel the burn - don’t you worry 😜
For each of the workout, you’ll find the videos of all exercises
which I will post on my instagram on the day before, so that you
have enough time to check the form out prior to the workout.

You’ll find two types of workouts:


1) Circuit
In this case, you will perform each exercise back to back for the
amount of repetitions or time indicated in the workout plan
(with no rest in between). Once you perform a round of all
exercises, rest for the specified time and then repeat again the
circuit for the given number of sets.
2) Each exercise
In this case, you will perform one exercise at a time, then rest for
the specified time and repeat the same exercise for the given
number of sets. Once you complete one exercise, then you can
perform the next one in a similar manner.
XMAS WORKOUTS
challenge

Some tips:
warm up before each workout for about 3-5 minutes. For
example, an easy routine that you can follow is: 10 squats,
10 knee push-ups, 20 jumping Jacks, and repeat until the
time of 3-5 minutes is up.
stretch at the end for 5-10 minutes. I’d suggest to stretch
the back of your legs, quads, glutes, calves, abs, arms and
shoulders.
during the exercises, focus on engaging the muscles
consciously (“mind-body connection”, aka really focus on
the muscles which are working).
pay attention to your breathing during all exercises for
better engagement and stability; exhale during the
concentric part of an exercise (the effort/contraction) and
inhale during the eccentric part (the muscle elongation).
consider involving friends or family members in your daily
workouts, it can be a great way to spend time with your
beloved ones.
fitness is a long-term project of self-love and it is meant to
make us move and feel our best at all times.
have fun!

Last but not least,


I wish you the most joyful festive period 🥰
time to
get
started!
