The Burst! Workout 10 Day Challenge

Here at Workman, we are a get-up-and-go kind of bunch.

We prove that daily with our passionate book-making and -selling, our unbeatable party planning, and even our amazing baking (and fundraising!) skills. And more recently, with our company-wide wellness initiative. With this summer’s selfie scavenger hunt, we got on our feet and out into the sunshine, and our Workman Running club which launched in July has been steadily growing (not to mention, trucking!) ever since.

So when author Sean Foy challenged us to a 10 Day Burst Workout Challenge to kick off the release of his new book The Burst! Workout, naturally we had to accept.

Every day, over the course of 10 days, Sean emailed  us (and anyone else who signed up online) a Burst Minute Move to get us up out of our chairs and moving. The great thing about these moves is that they can be done anytime, anywhere (read: at your desk!) with no equipment or gym membership necessary. Who hasn’t had those days when you just want to do a quick 60 seconds of air boxing at your desk?

The Burst Workout Challenge took form in our office in a number of ways.

The Credit department decamped to the stairwell to practice 60 seconds of Burst Stair Stepping:

Editorial gathered for a group Burst Wall Sit:

and the Workman Running Club paused at the halfway mark on their runs to do some Burst Chair Push-Ups.

But it wouldn’t be very Workman-like to only do 10 days of The Burst Challenge… Since you can sign up for the Burst Workout Challenge any time, lots of Workman employees have kept their exercise up by participating in the Challenge again this week!

You can join the Challenge any time by signing up to receive Sean’s emails at burstworkout.com.

    […] They practice what they preach at Workman Publishing. To kick off the release of his book The Burst! Workout, author Sean Foy issued a 10 Day Burst Workout Challenge. Some Workman folks accepted the challenge and for 10 days, they received an email with a Burst Minute Move to get them out of their chairs and moving. They wrote about the experience last week on their blog. […]
