The constant variable workout is a way to introduce a full-body workout to your busy schedule. These workouts are short and intense, but will help you jump-start your metabolism and burn calories. These workouts should never take you more than 15-20 minutes to complete, and they require little space and minimal equipment.
DEFINITIONS » BODY WEIGHT EXERCISE: Any movement in which resistance is created by your own body weight. » SET: Each individual exercise. » ROUND OR CYCLE: All of the sets (or exercises) combined. » REST: Taking a break.
Now you can begin to choose the exercises you want in your workouts. There are four major focus areas of exercise: legs, upper body, core and cardio.

WEEK 2LEGS UPPER BODY CORE CARDIOAIR SQUATS - Stand with your feet facing outward (or slightly angled if that’s more comfortable). Slowly lower your body by bending your knees (make sure your knees do not come forward over your feet) and then stand back up.
PUSH-UP – With your hands shoulder-width apart and either your feet or knees on the ground, tighten your core and lower yourself to the ground by bending your arms. Then push back up until your arms are straight.
WIDE-GRIP PUSH-UPS – Complete a push-up as described above, but start with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
SIT-UPS – Lie with your back on the floor, hands behind your head or crossed over your chest, feet on the ground and knees at a 45-degree angle. Using your abdominal muscles, move your upper body toward your knees while keeping your buttocks on the ground.
MARCHING - While standing in place, raise each leg up to waist height and repeat with the other leg.
LUNGES – Take a single step back and slowly slide down until your knee almost touches the ground, or at least reaches a 90-degree angle. Then stand back up and switch legs.
DIPS – With your back to the seat of a chair, place your hands on the edge of the chair. Lower yourself by bending your arms and legs, then push yourself back up with your arms and repeat.
CRUNCHES – While on your back, move your feet up into a 90-degree position. Place your hands behind your head and bring your knees close to your elbows.
JUMPING JACKS – From a standing position, jump your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart and move your arms up above your head at the same time. Jump your legs back to center, followed by your arms down to your sides. Repeat.
STEP-UP – Find a stair or a box that can support your weight. With a single leg, step up on the box/stair/ledge. Then step back down and repeat with the other leg.
BURPEE – Start from a standing position. Drop or slowly lower yourself into the push-up position. Then walk or jump your legs back up to your hands, and stand up again.
PLANKS – Place yourself in a push-up position, or place your elbows on the ground and your knees or feet on the ground. Tighten your core and hold.
MOUNTAIN CLIMBER – From a push-up position, bring one knee to your chest then place it back down in the push-up position. Repeat with the other leg.
SQUAT JUMPS – Similar to an air squat, but at the end of the movement, add a jump.
SUPERMAN – Lie down with your chest to the floor. Place your arms above your head so they are parallel to the ground. Once you are in the correct position, engage your lower back muscles to bring your hands and feet into an arched position. Then slowly lower your hands and feet back to the floor.
KNEE TO CHEST – From a seated position, place your hands slightly behind your torso with your legs straight out in front of you. Move your knees up to your chest from the seated position, placing the weight slightly on your hands. Once your knees are near your chest, straighten your legs into an extended position.
LATERAL JUMPS – Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Swing your arms to the side you want to jump to and push off with your legs, landing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees bent. Now jump back to the center position and jump in the opposite direction.

REVIEWING YOUR FOOD LOGWhat are some of the patterns you are noticing?
When you look at the times that you are eating, are there consistencies?
When you look at the emotions in your Food Log, what comes up for you?
Writer Charles Duhigg has studied habit formation for years. Below is the Duhigg Model of Behavior Change. Using this model, you can change your habits by identifying your cue, looking at what the reward of the habit is, and by changing the routine.
Follow along with the slides of the webinar to fill out the habit loop below:

MEAL PLANNING AND DINING OUT Meal planning offers you a way to stay on track and move toward your goals each week. It’s hard to justify eating out when you’ve taken the time to prepare food that tastes good.
Meal planning is an excellent tool to help you: » Save time » Save money » Eat balanced meals that are free of processed foods
Spending one day a week planning, cooking and doing some early prep work can save you hours over the rest of your week. By planning, you will be able to eat balanced meals that are free from processed foods.
Use the following spaces and the grocery list on the next page to help you plan for a week’s worth of meals!
