DrTri Weekly Health & Fitness HomeWork for 4/19/09

Hello All,

I was reminded, while on an Aid Response at the Fire Department, this last week of the ritual that some people do every day at 4:20. I do not engage in that behavior, but it did leave me feeling a little ‘left out’ of some exclusive club...
So, this week’s HomeWork is to “take back 4:20” (or actually, to be more precise, “join the 4:20” club)

BUT, we will be doing a minute of exercise at 4:20 instead of anything else.

Every day this week, at 4:20 pm, perform 1 minute of exercise of your choice. Can be squats, push-ups, back extensions, run, walk, sit-ups, pull-ups, bounce on a trampoline, anything active that you want to do as long as it get’s your heart pumping, increases blood flow, contracts muscles, increases respirations, etc. etc.
I want us all to set our watches (or bring an alarm timer/clock and set it on your desk at work) for 4:19 pm. That will give us 1 minute to get ready, i.e. stand up from your desk, pull the car over, stop whatever else you are doing, and then at exactly 4:20 perform 1 solid minute of exercise activity. If you are in a meeting, set your fancy phone alarm on vibrate, and just do repeated ‘isometric’ contractions of your calves, or glutes, etc...

Pretty simple, just have to remember to set an alarm/timer!!!

Have a great week!
