Exercise of the Month: Cardio Time

Let’s torch those calories and boost that metabolism with this cardio/HITT workout! If you have minimal time, this is the perfect exercise for you. Anytime, anywhere, this exercise is a great go-to.

Add this exercise on to your walk, run or game of tennis. You can also do it right before you get into the shower or just try the exercise on its own.

Each round is 30 seconds and remember the more rounds you do, the harder it will be. Beginners, do two rounds. If you’re at an intermediate level, do three rounds. If you’re advanced, do six rounds. 

Here’s how it goes:

  • Walk or run in place
  • Do jumping jacks
  • Walk or run in place
  • Do jump squats
  • Walk or run in place
  • Do high knees

Nutritional Tip: Empty Calories

What are empty calories? The term “empty calories” applies to foods and beverages that are composed primarily or solely of sugar, fats, oils or alcohol. Empty literally means “containing nothing.” When it comes to food, empty means that food contains little or no essential vitamins or minerals. In other words, these foods provide nothing of value to your body beyond calories that create excess pounds.

Over the holidays we typically consume more alcohol than usual.  You’ll want to be aware of not only how many drinks but how many ounces are in each glass.

Whip Up Some Kitchen Abs?

Are abs really made in the kitchen? This question is addressed in an interesting article that 1) breaks down the science of nutrition vs. exercise and how each impacts body composition, 2) looks at a few different types of diet plans and their effects on the body and 3) decides whether the saying “abs are made in the kitchen” is fact or fiction.

Sand Sculptures and Running Fun

Every year, I can’t wait to see what’s made just from sand at the Siesta Key Crystal Classic. The master sand sculpting competition makes its way to Siesta Key Beach on November 9 to 12. This is the perfect chance to take in our beautiful beach while catching a glimpse of what these artists create. You won’t believe it!

The Manasota Track Club’s Toy/Pie Run is what they call a 5K-ish. On November 22 (Thanksgiving morning!), come to Twin Lakes Park from 8 to 10 a.m. and bring an unwrapped new toy and something to share for breakfast. This run will put you in the holiday spirit in no time. And one of the best parts? If you predict your finish time accurately, you could win a pie from Yoder’s!
