4thofJulyBaseballWorkout

Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and burpees. America’s favorite past times.

Get a quick workout in before the gluttony starts. Won’t take up much time and then you can get on with the festivities.

You can do this workout anywhere you like and it actually works great as a group. Set up 4 objects in a diamond pattern, then designate which object is first base, second, third, and home. Next pick out 4 exercises that correspond with each base. For example:

First base-15 pushups

Second base-15 burpees

Third base-15 shoulder presses

Home-15 jump squats

You can use whatever exercises you prefer and you don't necessarily need equipment.

Don’t be turning this into a drinking game! I’m watching you.

Every time you go all the way around the “bases” it counts as a run. Set a time limit and try to score as many “runs” as possible.

You can go for 15 minutes, take a rest break, and then change the exercises up. Perfect chance to teach grandma what a burpee is. If you are doing it as a group, try to outscore the other team or individual.

Hope you have a great holiday and remember all the members of our armed forces who are fighting to keep our great country free.
