Beat the Week: How to Get the Most out of the Next 7 Days.

It's Sunday, and since the clocks have been turned, the only day that I can wait for the sunlight to peak through my windows as a sign for me to wake up. I will usually get up, make some coffee and take the first cup outside to get some air then come back in and start breakfast. A nice start to the day!

Sunday however is not only the last day of the traditional weekend but the first day of the next calendar week, Instead of waiting for New Years think of it as getting 52 brand new starts every year!

How often should I exercise a week is one of the most common questions that I will hear on a week to week basis. My answer is normally as much as your body is going to allow you to, taking in to consideration your current conditioning. Here is a more simple approach....Beat the Week.

A week has 7 days in it, an unbalanced number. Get in 4 days of exercise and you have beaten the week, get in 3 days and the week has beaten you! These bouts do not have to be super intense, you do not have to make it to the gym but put aside 10-15 minutes to get it done. After you read this article jump into this little routine if you are stuck on what you should do.

Ideally you would have a dumbbell of kettle bell but if not go with the Body weight substitute.

3-5 Rounds

10 Goblet / Body weight Squat
10 Renegade Rows / Push up with shoulder tap
10 Walking Lunges
10 Kettle bell(or dumbbell swing) / Double or single leg hip bridge

Knock out 3 rounds, pop in the shower and you have started to Beat the Week!
