If you enjoyed our Summer Motivation Series - Eat Well on Instagram, how about trying another? For many of us, maintaining any kind of workout schedule is hard during the summer. We are traveling a lot, on vacation, or just out of routine. InDependent would like to challenge you to make your workouts a priority without sacrificing much time with workouts that you can do anywhere – no equipment necessary! This series will feature strength training, cardio, and plyometric workouts that will take, at most, 30 minutes a day.

We’ll post a new workout each day. Cardio days are simple, just follow the instructions. If you are on vacation or just PCSed to a new location, use these cardio sessions as an opportunity to explore a new area. For strength training days, the workouts are designed to be circuit style – that is, perform one set of each exercise with no rest in between exercises. Once you have completed a full circuit (or all exercises), rest for 30 seconds and repeat. For beginners, we suggest that you perform each exercise for 30 seconds. If you are more advanced, perform each for one minute. Workouts will slowly progress and become more difficult as the month goes on.

To participate, just snap a photo before, during, or after each workout and tag #IDSummerMotivation. Note, this is slightly different than what we had been using. With the ID in front, we can see just our posts on Instagram without wading through a bunch of other photos.

Good luck!
