Tip: I am going to keep this workout as simple and quick as possible. I have minimized the directions so you just have to follow along with the pictures! Find a space about 5′ x 6′ and get ready to do a quick upper body, lower body & ab workout.
Do: 3 sets of 15 reps for each exercise. If you have more time, do the entire routine a second time if you are looking for a more challenging workout!

Grab & Go Snacks for Healthy on the Run
Here are some quick, easy and healthy snacks for after your workout or anytime of day!
🔆 1 slice toasted sprouted grain bread (I love Ezekiel Bread) + 1/2 mushed (not very professional sounding, but that’s how I think about it) avocado (small size) + dash of salt & pepper.
🔆 1 medium apple + 2 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter spread, forget the days of Jif that is filled with sugars and extra fats)
🔆 Individual yogurt (siggi’s is truly the best and my favorite) + medium apple (a perfect post-workout snack with fiber and protein)
🔆 1 scoop of whey protein powder blended with cocoa, almond milk + PB Fit peanut mixture (you want a healthy delicious treat, this is your answer . . . don’t be surprised that it tastes like a peanut butter cup, that is Tom’s favorite 🙂 I promise it’s healthy) My go to product is my Magic Bullet, you can blend your drink and then to keep your smoothie extra cold, my new favorite “water” bottle is by Takeya! I love how the insulation keeps it cold for 24 hours, BUT there’s a no-drip, drinkable spout too! (I hate putting my germ-y hands on the lids to open, not with this bottle, just twist and drink from the spout) You will get rid of your other bottles once you try this one!
Quick Product Reference for You & both are Now on Amazon Prime!
Takeya is the BEST insulated water bottle I have EVER used and I love the leak-proof drinkable spout with screw top lid, so you won’t lose it. While driving I place it in my cup holder and can open it with one hand.
