5 Workout Exercises You Can Do Anywhere


Do you travel a lot? Or maybe you just can't justify that gym membership. Or maybe you simple like working out by yourself. Here's some inspiration to get you moving! This workout can be done anywhere, anytime, any place. You can use a yoga mat, but if you don't have one, don't worry, use the floor! Find the balance between living and exercising. This workout is also a great way to improve your surfing and can be incorporated into your current yoga practice. These poses target the whole body, strengthening and toning focusing on the core. Once your core is strong, the rest will follow.

1. Forearm Plank

Come onto the forearms making sure elbows are stacked under the shoulders, interlock the fingers, lift onto the toes and create a straight line from the the heels to the crown of the head. Make sure hips aren't lifting too high or too low. Start by holding for 1 minute. Start to increase this as you practice the pose, to 2 minutes then to 3 minutes. To increase the difficulty, rock back and forward on the toes. You can also lift one leg at a time, hold, and release.
