A quick reminder that on March 18 Monica Reinagel will be doing another one of her excellent 30-Day Nutrition Upgrades. I know I have told you about it before but It is that good! It makes so much sense and brings so much clarity (and sanity) to the confusing/annoying/over-complicated world of nutrition.
If you want to join me (yes, I will be there) and Monica for this 30-Day program, or you want to find out more, just go to BrockArmstrong.com/upgrade.
Now on with the links!

Brock Armstrong Coaching –Don’t Hide How Hard You’re Breathing
Breathing heavily when you exercise is not a problem and certainly not a cause for embarrassment. In fact, it is essential for a good workout! Unless you have an underlying medical problem, heavy breathing is simply the body’s way of getting more oxygen to your hard-working cells.

Speaking of short and fun workouts, here is a variation of what I talked about in this podcast episode I shared above. This is a simple but effective workout that you can do at home. You just need a little bit of floor space and a pull-up bar… and some grit!
The moves are:
1. One pull-up
2. One push-up
3. One squat
4. Plank for 10 seconds (or choose a plank variation)
5. Jog in place for 10 seconds (with high knees)
Don’t let the “single rep” part of this workout turn you off – the transitions are part of the workout and I guarantee with all the up and down in this workout, your heart rate will climb quickly!
