4th of July Workout

Are you planning on enjoying the big day off tomorrow with friends or family at a cookout?4th_of_july_workout

You may also be thinking to yourself that there's no way you're going to survive the day without adding a pound or two from all the extra food and drinks you indulge in.

Well, besides making healthier food choices, you can also try this 10-20 minute trick to help negate the excess calorie intake.

Tomorrow when you wake up (before you do anything else) toss on your workout clothes and begin a quick body weight workout.

Here's one that you may be familiar with and will require less of a learning curve for you to get started with right away.

* Complete 30 seconds of jumping jacks without resting
* Rest for 30-60 seconds depending on your fitness level
* Repeat 30 seconds of jumping jacks and rest intervals 10 times

If you're able to, begin with a safe dynamic warm-up to safely get the body moving.

You can also end with some light stretching and you'll be off and ready to enjoy the 4th (guilt free)!
