15 min sweat set with Ena

Time for change

According to Health.org, a health and pharmaceutical resource website, less than 5% of adults in America partake in 30 minutes of exercise daily and only one in three children are physically active every day. Although these statistics are taken from a study made in the USA, and the typical Namibian’s lifestyle may differ significantly, it’s important to measure yourself against those stats because your and your family’s health is important.

We have lived through half of the year 2021 already, and I admit that I haven’t nearly honoured all the good and healthy intentions I had for my body this year. Luckily I’m a pro when it comes to reflecting and I easily get fed up with myself which makes me want to do and be better. I want to encourage you to also flip to a new page and draft your plan for the second half of the year. It’s never too late to make healthier decisions!

To help you start, below is a 15-minute sweat session that you can start implementing a couple of times per week. It targets your whole body, and if you are not working up a sweat – add another round!

I don’t want anyone to regret not leading a healthier lifestyle earlier.

Full-Body Sweat Session

All you need is:

• 15 minutes

• Water

Each exercise = 30 seconds Rest = 1 minute after the 8 th exercise Complete the circuit 3 times (and if you are able to, challenge yourself to a 4 th round)

1. Jump in/out with floor touches

2. Plank

3. Superman lifts

4. 6 mountain climbers into 3 push-ups

5. Crossover crunches

6. 2 squat jumps into a 3-pulse squat

7. Side plank combo right

8. Side plank combo left

Turn up the tunes before you work up a sweat and enjoy this exercise! Enjoy doing it for yourself!

3 ways to better honour your intentions:

1. Clearly write out in your journal or on a piece of paper (revisit the page regularly) what you want to achieve, implement and/or change

2. Commit to daily doing something that contributes to each point you’ve written – even if it’s small

3. Keep track of progress and celebrate even the small victories! Action begets motivation, not the other way around
