Plate Pushes
Place a heavy weight plate (try 25 to 35 pounds) on top of a towel so it glides. Put your hands on the plate, and drive with your legs to push the plate quickly across the floor for 25 to 40 yards. Rest 60 seconds. Repeat two to five times. Maximize muscle tension by keeping your elbows straight, taking long strides with your legs, and keeping your hips lower than your shoulders.
Body Bonus: Improves total-body conditioning
*Plates can be replaced with something equally as heavy*

How to calculate your maximum heart rate to know how hard you’re working during your cardio

PS: the “fat burning zone” (about 60% to 70% of your maximum heart rate) doesn’t mean you’re burning more fat. It just means the body burns a higher percentage of calories from fat when in this zone. However, at higher intensities (70-90% of your maximum heart rate), you burn a greater number of overall calories.

The caloric intake part is a little fucked up.

My new “Bored?” exercise jar. I found a similar jar on Pinterest in which parents would put activities for their kids to do, and it just made sense to me: if I’m trying to get in shape and I have nothing to do/am bored, why not have a list of things to do, cut it up, and choose one from a jar?
