I can't believe it's only Wednesday. I feel like so much has happened this week. It sucks because I have been so busy I was unable to have the time to update my blog for the past couple of days. This time of year is when I feel like many of us are at a high stress level. Students are coming up on the end of their semesters so FINALS are knocking at their doors. Parents are running around like crazy trying to make sure they can get everything ready for Christmas and holiday events. I've been so busy at work I haven't even had the chance to get a decent workout in this week and the week is halfway over :( Sometimes getting that workout in can be a great stress reliever because its that short little window of time that you can spend focusing on just yourself. It's a little mini break that you get to take during your long stressful day. Being able to take just 20 to 30 minutes could make a world of difference in the way you feel throughout your day. Exercising can actually give you that energy boost because your body releases a good amount of endorphins while exercising and your body actually produces twice as much ATP (ENERGY) that your body needs to complete a workout so the left over ATP is what your body uses for that energy boost.
Take a look at the following metabolic workout ( this is a workout that should take less than 30 minutes to complete but you are building your cardio in with your weight training to cut the time in half that you have to spend at the gym!)
1) Push Up x 12 reps

Rest 60s
Repeat this sequence up to 5 times
please use the instructional videos to view the exercises if you have questions on how to do any of the exercises listed. If you have further instructional questions or you maybe cannot perform one of the exercises due to a joint or bone problem, let me know and I will give you a secondary option.
** Reminder if you don't have access to a Kettlebell you can use a dumbbell instead**
