Hey guys! We got flooded with your wonderful responses last night and suggestions for our blog - thank you for your awesome comments.Today's blog is the result of one of our reader's request for a simple morning workout that does not require getting up too early and heading off to the gym. If you have time constraints or if the thought of hardcore exercise makes you cringe, then we think you will appreciate this simple, yet effective morning workout routine.
It only takes 15 minutes - if you can't spare 15 minutes...go to a mirror right now....look at yourself and say, "stop making excuses and do something about your health!"
Ok, ready?
Go start the coffee maker and begin stretching for a couple of minutes. Then, break out into some jumping jacks, yes, old-fashioned, time-proven and effective, jumping jacks. Personally, I like to do about 100 at a moderate clip but do what you can - don't be afraid to push yourself a bit and work up a sweat. Feel the blood flowing and all those positive neurons reacting in harmony - they love it, trust me. Your body is begining to recalibrate itself.
After your set of jumping jacks, do 3-4 sets of push ups. Do as many as you can each set, holding your negative repetitions during the last 2-3 sets. Try it, you'll like it! If you can't do normal push ups, do the "girly-man" ones on your knees, just make sure no one is watching!
I also like to throw in some lunges and sit ups, but you can skip these in the beginning. You don't want to kill yourself - ha, ha!
Just try this, oh so simple routine, for one week and listen to your body. You will begin to really see some changes happening with your energy level and your oveall attitude. You will begin to feel motivated to take it to the next level or you can continue along with this routine, as it will help facilitate weight loss and improve your overall appearance and cardiovascular condition.
Do it tomorrow morning - remember, no excuses!!
