Cardio Focus: Active Rest

How much do you stand in line? I find that I stand in line quite a bit each day and, although it's annoying to have to wait, it's nice to know that standing in line actually burns calories: If you weigh 150 pounds, you'll burn 30 calories in 20 minutes. Tap your foot impatiently, and you'll probably burn more!

Strength & Flexibility Focus: Lower Body and Abs

Lower Body: Do the same lower body workout as last week, performing 2 sets, but add 2 reps per exercise. Use enough weight that you can ONLY complete 12-14 reps.
Pick 3-4 ab exercises and do 1-2 sets of 16 reps at the end of your workout.

Nutrition Focus: Tofu

I know what you're thinking...tofu?? Yes, tofu.
I've always thought it was a little on the gross side myself, but I've recently had some tofu-y foods and found them rather tasty. Plus, tofu is one of the most nutritious things you can eat. A 1/2 cup only has 97 calories and it provides 10 grams of protein. You also get plenty of calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium and folate.

Motivation

Unless you're still poking the penguin from yesterday, you're probably ready for more laughs. Our Political Humor site is full of political laughs. If politics isn't your cup of tea, maybe you'll enjoy this site. If not, there's no hope for you. :-)
