Garlic Chive Shrimp is a quick and healthy way to serve up a dinner in 10 minutes or less!

On those days when we need a quick easy dinner to end the day we probably also need a quick easy workout to sneak into your day. It seems like there are lots of days like that this summer.
I am sure I sound like a broken record, but the easiest way to sneak in a workout on a busy day is to get up and get done first thing in the morning. 
For this workout we are hitting the track! 
 

400 m or .25 miles (1 lap on a standard track)

Walking lunges for 100 m
10 bounding jumps
Sprint to finish lap
Rpt

10 to 1

Workout done and time to get on with your crazy day! 
 

Happy Fit Friday!! 
 Much Love and Peace~ 
 Nichole and Ruthie
