Exclusive training plan to start 2023 fit

All you need is an exercise and motivation mat

Hitting the gym and maintaining your workout routine can be more complicated during the busy holiday season, especially if you plan to travel or be with family for the season. Even if you’ll be staying home, your schedule can quickly fill up with partying at the start of the year.

So, how to enjoy the season without giving up physical preparation? One option is to adopt bodyweight exercises fast so as not to make training an obstacle.

Circuit workouts are a huge time saver and can help get you in good shape. Matthew Sarriaa personal trainer specializing in exercise physiology, sports nutrition and psychology, explains that the right bodyweight workout can burn calories and keep muscles strong for as little as 10 to 20 minutes a day.

He created an exclusive plan for Boa Forma readers with no equipment needed and that can be done anywhere you have.
