Healthful Bites
Had a rough day in the classroom, office or in front of the computer? No better way to let off a little stress than to sweat it out! And another reason to try these moves on a hectic day: They incorporate chops, which are almost as good as punches to knockout stress :)
Grab a medicine ball or dumbbell for the side chop rotations—and for the rest all you need is a good pair of sneakers. But if you have a pair of weighted gloves, they would be perfect to wear during all three! Be sure to keep your knees in line with your toes (not jutting to the outside or in front of your toes) during the plies and lunges.
So what has been stressing you out lately? Vent here. Better out than in, studies have found!
