Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and obesity. America's favorite past times. We are going to help combat that last one with this little workout. 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. 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.
