Staying Active with Amazon Alexa Skills

Sponsored by Amazon

My Amazon Echo Show is used in our home every day for so many things - but little did I know that it can offer even more benefits and experiences thanks to Alexa Skills. Alexa Skills add new capabilities to your Alexa enabled devices that allow you to create a more personalized experience. I use them to play games, order food, listen to podcasts and one of my favorites - try new workouts right from the comfort of my home!

When I found out that I could try free workouts from my Amazon Echo Show, I was so excited to try them out! With the New Year coming up and wanting to stay active during my pregnancy I have been really taking advantage of the convenience of working out right in my house with Alexa Skills.

One of my favorite workouts is the the 7-minute workout. It takes you through a variety of exercises for 7 minutes and you can let Alexa know when you are ready for the next exercise and take breaks as you need to as well. I also love that you can put on your favorite music before hand and it will play through with your workout! Anytime I feel like I need to get active I just say “Alexa Start 7-Minute Workout” and I am moving my body within seconds. It is so fun and makes staying active easier than ever.

There are so many great workouts on Alexa Skills from quick core workouts to high-intensity cardio, I love that there is something for everyone no matter what level you are looking for. I want to encourage you to check them out by just simply saying “Alexa, help me with my fitness resolutions!” on your Amazon Echo device! I can’t wait to hear what workouts you try and remember New Year - NO EXCUSES! Xo Melis
