Ways to get your strength training challenge letter

Make a boot camp of your own.
Pick 5 exercises and 5 cardio challenges.

1. Exercise for quads - Squats do for 1 min
2. Cardio - Mountain climber do for 2 min
3. Exercise for Hamstrings - Walking Lunges do for 1 min
4. Cardio - Mock Jump Rope - pretend you don't need the rope for 2 min.
5. Exercise for Chest - Push ups for 1 min.
6. Cardio - Burpies for 2 min
7. Exercise for Triceps - Dips for 1 min
8. Cardio - Jog in Place for 2 min
9. Exercise for Abs - Crunches for 1 min.

This will take 15 min and NO equipment!!! You can change the Exercise for the body part and the cardio exercise to keep it different and fun.

Let your kids help pick and do it with you. Mine have a blast!

Other ideas is to purchase a magazine like Self, Shape, Fitness or Oxygen
Find one of their workouts and do the exercises in it while watching TV. At each commercial break do 2 of the exercises. When the commercial is over; watch your show and then next commercial do more of your workout!
