Pushups: Place hands on the floor about shoulder width distance. Perform push-ups on your knees instead of your feet to ease the difficulty on your upper body. Once ready perform them on your feet to really challenge your upper body strength.
Towel Rows: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Push your hips back so that your body is in a firm position. Grasp a towel firmly in both hands. Pull the towel towards your chest and extend the arms back to start.
 
Glute BridgesLie flat in your back with your knees propped up and pointing to the ceiling. Keep your heels close to your bottom. Raise the hips up until there is one line from the knees to the shoulders, and lower back down to repeat.
SquatsHave your feet shoulder-width apart. Pushup your hips back as you lower yourself down as if sitting in a chair. Raise yourself back up to standing to repeat.
Bicycle Crunches or Burpees
*You can alternate these moves between rounds to keep things challenging*
Bicycle Crunches: Lie flat on your back and reach an elbow to an opposing knee. Repeat the motion back and forth until time is complete.
Burpee: Perform a slight hop, tuck yourself down into a deep squat, kick your legs behind you as you brace yourself as in a pushup position on the feet. Reverse the motion to come back up to standing.
Modified: Extend your arms up to the ceiling while performing a calf raise. Tuck down into a deep squat and walk one leg out behind you at a time until you brace yourself as in a pushup position on the feet. Walk your feet back in and stand back at the starting position.

Be A Little Better Everyday

Establishing positive daily habits is a powerful way to create long-lasting changes and improve your overall well-being. By incorporating these nine simple habits into your routine, you can positively impact your physical health, mental clarity, and personal growth. Let’s dive into these habits and explore the benefits they bring to your life.

One Hour of Exercise

Engaging in at least one hour of exercise daily helps boost your energy levels, promotes weight management, and strengthens your cardiovascular system. Regular exercise also releases endorphins, improving your mood and reducing stress. If you aren’t sure how to get started, hire a personal trainer.

Two Liters of Water

Staying properly hydrated by consuming two liters of water per day promotes healthy digestion, enhances cognitive function, and supports overall cellular health. Water also aids in flushing out toxins from your body and helps maintain healthy skin.

Three Cups of Tea

Drinking three cups of tea, such as green, herbal, or black tea, provides a host of benefits, including antioxidant protection, improved digestion, and enhanced immune function. Tea can also help relax the mind and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Four Colors on Your Plate

Including a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your meals ensures a broad range of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The vibrant colors indicate the presence of beneficial phytochemicals, which help reduce inflammation, support a strong immune system, and promote optimal health.

Five Minutes of Meditation

Taking just five minutes each day to practice meditation can improve focus, reduce anxiety and stress, and promote emotional well-being. It allows you to cultivate mindfulness, gain mental clarity, and develop a sense of inner peace.

Six Songs that Motivate You

Listening to six motivational songs each day can uplift your mood, boost motivation, and provide a positive outlook. Music has the power to inspire, evoke emotions, and drive you towards achieving your goals.

Seven Minutes of Laughter

Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Devote seven minutes to engaging in activities that bring joy and laughter, whether it’s watching a funny video, spending time with loved ones, or reading jokes. Laughter reduces stress, enhances immune function, and improves overall well-being.

Eight Hours of Sleep

Getting a restful eight hours of sleep every night is crucial for your physical and mental health. Quality sleep supports brain function, promotes optimal hormone regulation, and aids in the body’s repair and recovery processes.

Read Nine Pages of a Book

Dedicating time to read nine pages of a book each day enhances knowledge, expands creativity, and improves cognitive abilities. Reading provides mental stimulation, reduces stress, and offers a valuable opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection. Incorporating these nine daily habits into your routine can lead to transformative changes in your life. From physical fitness and hydration to mental well-being and personal growth, each habit contributes to your overall health and happiness. Remember, change happens gradually, so start by incorporating one or two habits at a time and gradually build upon them. Embrace these habits as a lifestyle, and you’ll witness the positive impact they have on your well-being. Start today and embark on a journey towards a happier, healthier you.
