Action items for Sunday, May 3rd:
Fitness Challenge:
EMOM 12 minutes
12 weighted squats or 20 bodyweight squats
12 weighted sprawl deadlift or 20 bodyweight sprawl jumps
EMOM, or Every Minute On the Minute, is a workout style that challenges you to work efficiently in order to afford yourself a rest at the end. Time yourself for 12 minutes, two minutes longer than last week. Now, start your 12 weighted squats or 20 bodyweight squats. Once you've finished ( should take about 40 seconds give or take) the rest of the minute (about 20 seconds) is a rest. At minute number two, complete 12 weighted sprawl deadlifts or 20 bodyweight sprawl jumps.
Note: A sprawl jump is NOT a burpee, work on getting your hips to the floor as you sprawl your legs back. Also, no push up!
Mindfulness Challenge:
At LEAST 12 minutes yoga flow
Yoga is as good for the body as it is the mind. Find 10 minutes of your day to perform a 'yoga flow'. A yoga flow is 2-6 yoga poses put together in a sequence that allows cyclical movement back to the beginning.
Follow one of my yoga flows here.
Lifestyle Challenge:
Throw out or donate 3 things you don't have use for anymore
There's many things that we can throw out and choose not to. Look around your house. How many things do you use daily? Weekly? Monthly? Is there anything that is just sitting there collecting dust and taking up space? I know for me, there are PLENTY of things I haven't touched since moving in!
Take today to remove 3 items from your life; whether its cleaning out your fridge of leftovers, finally getting rid of those extra extra plates you have (just in case you nee to feed an army!), cleaning out your shirt drawer (how many shirts do you actually wear?), etc.
Note: Throwing out/donating your children's toys and clothes is also a good idea, however, does NOT count towards your three things!
Nutrition Challenge:
No sugar
