If you cannot make any practices over break, here are workouts that you can do:

Warm-up
Do this warm-up every day you workout over break if the weather permits…
Jog a mile, Static Stretch, Drills:  Do each drill, up and back for twenty yards (so a total of 40 yards): Knee Hugs, Cheerleaders, Open Gates, Shut Gates, High Knees, A-Skips, B-Skips, Long Goose, Short Goose, Butt Kicks… Then stretch again (do not forget your arms)

Workouts

Monday:                  A Ladder Fartlek.  Jog for 16 minutes. 
                       Within the second minute: Sprint for 15 seconds
                                Within the fourth minute: Sprint for 30 seconds
                                Within the seventh minute: Sprint for 45 seconds
                                Within the eleventh minute: Sprint for 30 seconds
                                Within the fifteenth minute: Sprint for 15 seconds


Tuesday:             Long Jog Day.  For this day only do a half mile warm-up instead of the full mile
(though do the 27th other drills as normal).  A long jog is anywhere between 2½ miles to 5 miles. 
Go SLOW, at a talking pace, and please be careful running near the road. 
PLEASE NOTE: This workout is entirely optional. 
Feel free to take the day off and enjoy the whole day with your family.  

Wednesday:      Do any version of the thirty to forty-minute HIIT Training videos found on Youtube, such as
                            “Fitness Blender.”  Follow it Up with Alexis Ren’s Ab Workout on Youtube. 

 

Thursday:            Extensions.  Do five ten-yard sprints, four twenty-yard sprints, three thirty-yard sprints, two forty-yard sprints, one fifty-yard sprint, two forty-yard sprints, three thirty-yard sprints, four twenty-yard sprints, and five ten-yard sprints.  You have three seconds of rest between each sprint.  Follow that up with a fifteen-minute rest and then do it again.

Friday:                  A Ladder Fartlek.  Jog for 16 minutes. 
                    Within the second minute: Sprint for 15 seconds
                                Within the fourth minute: Sprint for 30 seconds
                                Within the seventh minute: Sprint for 45 seconds
                                Within the eleventh minute: Sprint for 30 seconds
                                Within the fifteenth minute: Sprint for 15 seconds
 
Saturday:             Go on a Recovery Jog of 2-4 miles…  

Cool Down
Static Stretch then Jog a ½ mile to a mile (SLOW!)…walk if necessary.
Do your three favorite drills that you do in Warm-ups.
Static Stretch Again

If you cannot do any of the above mentioned workouts because of weather or because of space, you can go to Youtube.com and type in “Fat Burning Cardio Workout - 37 Minute Fitness Blender Cardio Workout at Home.”  Any of these “Fitness Blender” workouts on Youtube are pretty decent though their presentation is slightly boring.  Also, T25 videos are available on line here: https://www.iqiyi.com/w_19rs4ug4h9.html
