That’s the equivalent of 5 miles* At the Office: The holidays are fast approaching! Don’t let this get in the way of your health. Drinking water throughout the day can help curb cravings and keep you feeling full longer. Commit to drinking one gallon per day and divide it up to drink 20 oz. every 1.5-2 hours. At the Gym/Home: *For distance measurement you can run .25 miles on a treadmill or think of running the length of 4 football fields* Other suggestions: map out a mile route with your car or download an app that tracks the distance you run! 1 Round 100 Walking Lunges (100 per each leg) 25 Squat Jumps 100 Bodyweight Goblet Squats (WEIGHTED SQUATS FOR ADVANCED) 50 Jumping Jacks (STAR JUMPS FOR ADVANCED) 100 Push Ups (Drop to knees when needed) 25 Burpees 100 Toe Touches (HOLD WEIGHT FOR ADVANCED) Run 1 Mile for time (ADVANCED- RUN 2 MILES AS FAST AS YOU CAN FOR TIME) (TRY TO BEAT TIME EACH WEEK) Exercise Tip: For a goblet squat, the feet are just slightly hip-width apart.

For toe touches, make sure you are using your abs to lift your shoulders off the ground. Tuesday: If it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change your. At the Office: Don’t be tempted by holiday treats around the office. Snack on raw vegetables like celery, carrots, or snap peas and raw nuts which will satisfy your need to snack but won’t ruin your entire diet.

Walk hands out to a plank and push-up. Walk hands back in to feet and stand to return to start position. ! For frog jumps, the goal is to jump as long as you can. Use your legs to power the jump so you get more distance and get your heart rate up. Thursday: The only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen.
