Just to make sure the excuses don't take over, I will put up a full body workout to do 4 times over this upcoming holiday week!

Friday Full Body Strength Workout

11/22/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
For every exercise listed, do 4 sets of 8-10 reps. The weight should be about 65-75% of your max. If you do not know what your max is, chose a weight that makes the last two reps of every set almost impossible to complete. That bit of effort will take you to a new realm of fat burning. Be sure to stretch for at least 30 mins after your workout. 


Exercises:
Back Squats
Straight Leg Deadlifts
Bent Over Rows
Overhead Press
Front Squats
Deadlifts
Pull Ups

You made it to the end of the challenge! How has it been going?!? Do you see how simple it is to make positive modifications to your diet?!? The last good habit change is to find no less than thirty minutes a day of mental health exercises. Just like our physical bodies need exercise, so do our brains! This will not only reduce stress and anxiety, but it also will improve your sleep! Some examples of mental exercises would be; Meditation, Reading, listening to soothing music, deep breathing, adult coloring books, etc.

Hope everyone is enjoying the challenge, thus far, we will be focusing on sleep! Everyone loves sleep, but in my experience, it is one of the hardest things for people to obtain. That being said, we will be setting a daily goal of obtaining 6 to 8hrs of sleep. This can include those little afternoon naps, as well, it is just so beneficial to give ourselves the proper amount of rest and recharge.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I have just been thru the first stage of the program and couldn't be more impressed! As a second generation ff in the same big City I think this program is awesome and long over due. My Dad (same City FF) died at the age of 40 from an MI, although I believe heavy smoking and lack of Scott air packs at that time may have been a factor! I'm in my 31st year on Brockton Fire and soon plan to retire. Your knowledge of Fire/Police was a complete relief to all I'm sure. I know there's things I need to change, with your help I'll set new goals. A Big thank to all who helped put this program together! P.S. Ladies..one thing you'll never see outside a Fire House.........A Ferrari
