Try this morning workout from Bob Harper! Repeat this 3 exercise circuit 3 times:

Russian twist with ball slam
  • Start sitting on the ground, with your feet bent in front of you. Lean your chest back without rounding your spine. Grip a weighted ball with your hands. Twist your upper body to one side, then slam the weighted ball down to the ground. Pick it up and repeat on the other side. If you don't have a weighted ball at home, you could use a basketball. Continue alternating for 10 reps.

Falling star:
  • Start in a high plank position, with your hands flat on the floor. Lift your right arm straight into the air. As you shift your body to the side, stretch your left leg across the floor. Repeat on the other side. Continue alternating for 10 reps.

Punch plank
  • Start in an elbow plank position. Keeping your body in a parallel line with the floor, tighten your hands into fists. Keeping your lower body as still as possible, punch the air in front of your right arm, then left. Continue alternating for 10 reps.

When kept at relatively stable temperatures, canned food will remain at peak quality for at least two years after it's been processed. It actually doesn't expire on a certain date, experts say. Canned food kept at 75 degrees or below may last indefinitely, though its color and texture may change. One way to tell if your canned food is no longer safe to eat is to look at the state of the can. Bacteria can grow and release gases that make the can bulge, so if it's swollen, that’s a definite no-go. Follow the link to see more guidelines.
