Workout #9

Workout #9

There are 4 elements you will be rotating through for 30-45 min.  If you’re doing this at the gym, you’ll be able to do everything (even the push-ups) on the treadmill.  For your walking lunges you will slow down your speed between .5 – 1.0.  For your push-ups you will stop the belt, put your hands on the end of the treadmill and lower your chest down to touch the treadmill for every rep.  If your doing this workout outside, DON’T skip the push-ups!!!!!  You can do them on the grass :)   Cycle through the routine at least 5x.

Action    Time/Reps
Walk                    2 min
Walking lunge    20 reps
Jog                    2 min
Walk                    2 min
Push-ups            5 reps

Tea Drinker? Try some Yerba Mate!

Tea Drinker? Try some Yerba Mate!

Yerba Mate, jam packed with vitamins, antioxidants and can aid in maintaining or losing weight!  Many of us when choosing a healthy beverage (aside from water) will go for some green tea because of the antioxidants and small amount of caffeine.  Whether you are or are not a tea drinker I want to encourage you to check out some of the health benefits of Yerba Mate tea and them try some!  Check out the articles below and email me with any questions.  Have a wonderful afternoon:)
