WORKOUT OF THE WEEK

             The Advanced 7-Minute Workout

Workout: NYTimes has a new app that you can use from your computer, tablet or phone. Very user friendly. There are 2 workouts thus far, with the first being less intense than the second. The second workout also requires two dumbbells. The app provides complete instructions and times you. A great way to get your heart rate up (even higher!) after a shift, in the call room during trauma or ortho rotations, or while you're traveling. If the moves are too easy or difficult, modify. For example, in the first workout, instead of doing regular air squats, you could jump squats for added intensity. Find the exercises that are right for you!
