Making Sacrifices

In life, we have to make sacrifices almost everyday.  However, a sacrifice that you should never have to make is one that involves your health.

I hear different excuses all the time made by people about their health and fitness. "I don't have time, I don't have money, I work too much, my kids"....you name, I've heard it.

These are all legit reasons, however, they should never be the reason you sacrifice your health!

Here is an easy circuit that you can do in between your busy schedule whether you are at work, or perhaps waiting for your kids to get off of the bus. All you need is a few minutes for this full body routine.

Terrific 10's 

 Repeat this as many times as you can in 10 minutes, 10 reps each exercise.

Squats

• Hands on side of head, squeezing shoulder blades back

Push ups

• You can use the wall, counter top, or floor. The goal, no matter what surface, is to get your chest as close as you can.

Alternating Lunges

• Giving yourself a nice wide stance, and making sure to push off with your heels when changing weight. Turn this full body by adding swinging arms back and front.

Burpees

I know you see this and cringe, however this is one of THE BEST metabolic exercises.

• You can start off with bringing one leg back at a time, or fire it up and hop both back into your plank position.

Do me a favor, try this small circuit at some point in your day.  Not only will you feel more energized, but you will burn some calories and feel much more accomplished.  Instead of plopping on the couch after your work day, do the circuit.

There is no reason why your health should be a sacrifice that you make!

Do You Have 4 Minutes?

Hey guys,

I know everyone has a busy schedule and life happens!

Someday's getting to the gym is just not going to fit into your schedule with work, a family and life in general. Don't worry something is better than nothing!!

That's what if you are not going to be able to make it to boot camp, I have a little 4 minute challenge for you!

Here's the deal, we are going to do 4 rounds, 20 seconds of work, 10 second break! The two exercise will be one round and we are going to do 4 rounds.

round one:

Burpees-20 seconds of work
              10 second rest

Knee drive-20 seconds of work
                  10 seconds rest

That is round one and you are going to repeat that 4 times!

Double challenge...double it up and do 8 rounds!! Do you have it in you??? Try it out and let me know!

Remember we understand things come up in your busy schedule...but I know you have 8 minutes it just depends how bad do you want it!

Thanks for reading and again let me know how it works!
