Whitney's On-The-Go Workout (No Weights Needed)

Just because you're stuck at your childhood home, with a bunch of relatives who are still incapacitated on the couch in turkey comas, doesn't give you a free pass to slack off on your fitness over the holidays.

If you're nowhere near a suitable gym, and it's too cold to workout outside, try this indoor circuit workout I developed while on vacation recently.

Your body doesn't know the difference between a barbell and a water bottle, so you can literally use anything as weights for this workout.

Even an elephant bone...
Ok, so you probably don't have an elephant bone handy (and it's not all that sanitary). Some things that I really do use in the place of weights are large water bottles, cans of soup, jugs of tide...
...and even my backpack full of books.
Here's a circuit workout you can do with little to no equipment.

Whitney's On-The-Go Workout

Step #1: Warm-up. For 5 minutes, jog in place, air jump rope, etc.

Step #2: Bicep-curls. Use your fake weight here (10 lb. backpack), and perform 15-20 reps per arm.
Step #3: Incline Pushup. Perform 15-20 reps.
Step #4: Jump-Squats. Stand with legs shoulder width apart. Squat down as deep as you can and then jump straight up, landing again in a squat. Repeat 10-15 times, without stopping.
Step #5: Tricep Dips. Perform 20-25 dips consecutively as fast as you can.
Step #6: Wall Squat. Stand against a wall, slide down into a 90 degree squat and hold for approximately a minute. 
Step #7: Plank. Hold a plank for one minute.

Repeat entire circuit (minus the 5 minute warm-up) 2-3 times.

That pumpkin pie won't know what hit it.
