Monday’s always have a renewed feeling to them. The weekend serves as a good “reset” button. A few days of rest and recovery can help us put a good kick to the next week of work or school. You should find 20 minutes in your schedule NOW to refresh your physical body and start your week of exercise on the right foot! The benefit of this total body workout is that you will work virtually every muscle in your body in the next 20 minutes. Hit this workout early in the morning and you can check it off the list of things that you have to do for the day! Jump in, get it done, and get on with your week!
