I call this one “no time for boredom”.  I hate indoor cardio but sometimes weather requires it, so I did this workout to keep me from getting too bored.

• 10 minutes on treadmill
• 10 “knees to elbows”
• 10 minutes on stationary bike
• 10 “knees to elbows”
• 10 minutes on eliptical
• 10 “knees to elbows”

repeat 2x, which gives you 60 minutes of cardio & 60 “knees to elbows.”

Tip of the Week

Take time . . .time to reflect, time to plan, time to take care of yourself.

Tip of the Week

Speaking with a law enforcement officer recently who lost a lot of weight in the past year I asked “how did you do it?”  So many diets out there I was curious which fad diet he chose, but to my surprise he responded “jogging and eating less.”  Wow, what a concept!!!

Berryhill’s Workout of the Week

Here’s a workout from a Roseville Police Officer called “5/10/15”.  The goal is to complete as many cycles as possible in 20 minutes.  A couple of the officers completed 26 cycles!  Ouch.

    5 – pull ups
    10 – push ups
    15 – air squats

Tip of the Week

When possible, make your workouts fun.  Include friends & co-workers.  Even if your workout is hard, pain likes company . . .
