💪 “Protein Shake” Joke (Went Over His Head!)
- Started the episode with a classic pun about protein shakes—and, well, his laugh missed the mark. 😅
- Cue the banter about Doc Talk—a hilarious dad-jokes series by Coach Lyle and his brother, filmed lakeside. A perfect way to start the day with a smile!
🪑 Wall Sits: Redemption for the Push-Up Queen
- Pink chairs aside, we took on the challenge: wall sits until failure!
- Rules: Thighs parallel to the floor, hands off knees.
- Sarah lasted about a minute, Alan went down fast.
- Verdict: Legs > push-ups—for now.
❤️ Heart Risk or Health Hack? We Tested It!
- We monitored our heart rates mid-wall sit and post a caffeine boost—Sarah peaked in the 100s, Alan maxed out near 140s.
- Recovery time is key: how fast your pulse returns to normal is a strong wellness indicator.
🏋️ Five-Minute Home Workout: No Gym Required
We demonstrated a quick-but-tough routine anyone can try at home or at a desk:
Step Exercise Work / Rest Notes
1 Jumping Jacks 40s / 20s Full arms up, soft landings.
2 Pulse Squats 40s / 20s Shallow squat pulses.
3 Push-Ups 40s / 20s Bodyweight—walls or knees ok.
4 Jump Squats 40s / 20s Touch the floor, explode up.
5 Plank Jacks 40s / 20s Core move with light cardio.
- Total time = 5 minutes. Ideal for busy days or micro-breaks.
