Staying in shape during the holidays just got a whole lot easier thanks to Olivia Culpo’s on-the-go workout.
This full-body workout, developed by P.volve, includes tons of moves that keep the influencer (and you!) going through countless parties and dinners.
P.volve is a resistance-based, low-impact fitness method with a goal to strengthen, sculpt and energize the entire body. It involves slow, controlled movements to activate hard-to-reach muscles using bands, gliders and light weights.
Culpo first learned about P.volve from model Devon Windsor, who did the workouts in preparation for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Culpo admits that remaining active while traveling can be "really challenging," but keeping herself accountable helps her stay on track.
"If you have a goal that's important to you, you should just tell the people that you're with so they can help support you," she said.
Bringing along your own food, cutting portion sizes and booking a hotel with a gym can also prevent unhealthy choices, said P.volve trainer Evan Breed.
"Find a workout that does allow you to do it in a smaller space," Breed said. "And walking, going out and seeing the sights, and getting plenty of sleep and hydrating [are important]."
Grab your resistance bands, find space in your hotel or childhood bedroom, and try this simple-yet-effective workout by Culpo and Breed.
Move #1: Upper body
Take the middle part of the p.band and hook it around your thumbs.
Go into the P.stance. Stand with feet hip-width apart and sit back to activate glutes, keeping knees bent over your heels.
Lift both arms to bring p.band up and over the head.
As you lift, open the arms using your back, and sit back.
Repeat eight times.
Move #2: Abs and thighs
Loop p.band around ankles.
Point the right toe forward and interlace hands behind the head.
Lean back into the spine to engage the front of the body. Keep elbows wide.
Crunch the right knee up toward the pelvis and tap the toe down.
