Even-though
you have a gym membership and lift heavy weights, doing body weight
workouts will be hard and get you sore. Plus you will focus better
when you are alone and not zoning out at the gym and cheating both
your body and mind.
This full body workout will benefit your brain
and give you a good sweat—exactly the detox you need in a manic
month.
Stress
can be caused by normal daily life tasks, forgetting to do a job
task, running late to meetings, or just not remembering where you put
your things. Your energy starts to diminish thus your fat diminishermechanism start to weaken. Which leads to skipping workouts and
eating without a schedule.
Just
one rule: Give it all you've got during each strength move. That
means pushing hard for the entire minute, focusing to beat your
previous score.
