If You Want to Boost Your Power...
Try Robin Arzón’s Outdoor HIIT Runs
Building your endurance doesn’t mean running a marathon a day. It’s committing to short bouts of intense exercise (HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training) that get you ready for longer fitness goals (such as running a marathon) down the road. And with Robin’s motivational style, you’re guaranteed to appreciate every second of “down” time that comes in these intense but worthwhile runs.
If You’ll Be Swimming This Summer...
Check Out 10 Minutes Arms and Light Weights
If you’re all about the pool and want to up your swimming game, you should focus on your arms. A strong upper body will improve your strokes and up your speed in the water. And regular arm and upper body workouts using light weights—for just ten minutes a day—can help you stay strong and safe in the water.
If You Want to Strengthen Your Core...
Check Out Pilates
One of the newest offerings on the Peloton App, Pilates is an amazing workout for strengthening and tightening your core. And once you do that, your posture improves, your neck and shoulders can relax, your body frame feels more supported and you’ll notice a huge difference in how you feel during activities, whether it’s a leisurely summer walk or a long ride on your Peloton Bike.
If You Want to Improve Your Back Muscles...
Check Out Resistance Bands: Glutes and Legs
Whether you want to spend your summer hiking, biking, rock climbing or engaging in water sports, the key to success is a strong lower back. Resistance band workouts on your glutes and legs will help protect your lower back so your summer activities can stay free of stress and injury.
If You Want Motivation to Move Outside...
Check Out Outdoor Walk + Run
Pop on your headphones and let instructors such as Adrian Williams and Olivia Amato provide the playlist, motivation and right blend of intervals to get you outside this summer. You can take an Outdoor Walk + Run on the beach, trail or around your neighborhood.
If You’re Traveling a Lot This Summer...
Check Out Bodyweight Strength
You may think you need heavy weights to sculpt muscles and burn calories. And yes, weights can do that. But if you’re on the go this summer—especially traveling by plane—packing up weights is sure to put your luggage way over the limit. Enter bodyweight training. And here’s the thing: Bodyweight workouts improve strength, endurance and power. But best of all, it’s one of the easiest workouts to do anywhere you are—from a hotel room to a backyard—to make sure your summer plans don’t derail your fitness goals.
If You Want to Take Advantage of Summer Flexibility...
Try Yoga Classes
Your body is already warm from the summer heat, which makes it primed for the bends, stretches and twists of yoga practice. And your muscles are likely more flexible, making joints feel more limber and freer than they do during the cold winter months. Take advantage of the looseness in your body to challenge yourself to go deeper into postures.
If You Want Your Mind Sharp to Achieve Fitness Goals...
Check Out Workout-Focused Meditations
If you’re struggling to find your motivation this summer, start by exercising your mind first. Meditation prepares your mind and your body for exercise by focusing your attention and building your motivation. Pro tip: The classes focused on “Fitness Goals,” “Level Up” and “Pre and Post Ride” will help keep your physical fitness top of mind all summer long.
