Workout: Power Lunch Burn

It’s 11:45 a.m. You’ve powered through that big report and the meeting to discuss it, which means you’ve been sitting most of the morning. And the lunch you prepped is already out on your desk (and will be mostly gone by noon). Now you need a pick-me-up to get ahead of the afternoon blahs.

Instead of reaching for the caffeine, why not squeeze in a quick workout? We have just the moves for you to zip through a full-body workout. Perform each movement in the workout portion for 60 seconds, rest 60 seconds and proceed to the next movement. Complete the workout circuit twice to pack everything in under 30 minutes.
