The Writer's Workout

While it's important to keep writing as a priority, don't let it consume every other aspect of your life. A healthy workout regimen has been proven to not only physically help you, but also clear your mind and boost creativity. I personally break up writing segments with short at home workouts. Below are a list of some of the workout routines I do in between writing

1. The Burpee

This is perhaps the best all around home workout you can do. A few sets of these will give you that satisfied exhaustion feeling you look for in your workouts. If you are looking for an tiring 10 minute break to recharge your creative juices try this routine:

The burpee pyramid- start with 10 burpees, take a 30 second break, then 9, and repeat all the way down to 0.

2. Body Weight Squats

The body weight squat is a great way to get a little extra movement if you don't have a lot of space. Add a jump to it for an extra burn. Aim for 50 in one set.

3. The Push Up

So many variations to target different muscle groups. Try breaking your sets into 10 (without stopping) just adjust your stance. I aim for 10 regular, 10 diamond, and 10 wide, before taking a break.

4. The Plank

This is great if you want to play with your music while you workout. I aim for a minute at a time and build from there. There are a number of variations you can do to activate different areas of your core. Try holding each side plank for 30 seconds, and then a standard elbow plank for 1 minute.

5. Bicycle Crunches

I feel the burn around 50 on these. Great way to get a quick burst of energy.
