Naughty or Nice? Slay Both.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Total Gym Holiday Workout That Challenges and Restores<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maria Sollon, MS, CSCS, PES<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some workouts make you sweat. Some make you stretch. This one does both: Naughty moves that challenge, Nice stretches that recover. <\/strong>All in Total Gym style that \u201csleighs\u201d the day.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re pairing four high-intensity strength exercises, \u201cthe Naughty\u201d, <\/em>with four targeted stretches \u201cthe Nice\u201d<\/em>. These moves are performed in a Tabata-style format.\u00a0 <\/strong>Each round pushes the body, then restores it, so you leave stronger, more mobile, and energized. There\u2019s no gimmicks, no fluff, just smart, effective training that respects your time during the Holiday \u201cstretch\u201d!<\/p>\n

Why Naughty + Nice Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional workouts separate strength and recovery, forcing you to pick one or the other.\u00a0 This Total Gym workout allows you to combine both, <\/strong>making this workout quick and effective!<\/p>\n

For the Total Gym, be sure to use the incline setting to balance the resistance you need without compromising good form. It won\u2019t take long to learn that the muscles don\u2019t get to hide, and fatigue can show up fast!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the naughty part: focused, demanding strength work that challenges control, endurance, and form.<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>Nice:<\/strong>
Right when the muscles are fired up, you give them what they need most, a targeted stretch that restores length, eases tension, and resets movement quality. No waiting until the end of the workout. No stiffness carried into the next round. Just intentional recovery, exactly when it\u2019s most effective.<\/p>\n

By adjusting your incline to match the movement, the Total Gym allows you to:<\/p>\n
