Weekend Warriors

I found this fabulous article on weekend warriors.  What is a weekend warrior you ask?  Well it is those people, that feel they have no time during the week to work out, so they cram in as much physical activity as they possibly can to the weekends.  Now working out only on the weekends is better than nothing!  So if you are one of those people who work 10 plus hours a day or have long commutes, this may work for you.  But why not also try doing an extra 30-50 mins a week of working out. It can be broken up to 10 mins a day.  One of my fave quick 5 to 10 min work outs is below.  I love this because even if you are super busy, you can find at least 5 or 10  mins to do this.  You just need to get that heart rate up and your body moving. 


You can do only a 5 mins portion or do the whole 10 mins
