THE PROBLEM

I’ve recently found myself checking the following websites an unhealthy amount.

THE IDEA

Every time you open a new tab to check out one of the following websites, stop. Get up from your computer and do the exercise associated with the site you were going to visit. After you complete the exercise, you can reward yourself by going to the website.

1. I already have a girlfriend and/or boyfriend, why would I bother working out?

Endorphins! They’re like free drugs.

2. Can I do this at work?

Yes!

3. Can I substitute different websites?

Absolutely.

It’s a total body fat burning circuit workout you can complete in just 20 minutes! Try this routine three days a week and you will have a magazine-cover body in no time.
