Summer is here! Time to break out the shades emoji and duck out of work right off the bat Fridays (if that is permitted). 

To commend, each Friday this late spring we're presenting to you a process to prepare you for the end of the week. Need to know how to remain snazzy, fit, and energized? We have you secured. The end of the week is here; given us a chance to be your guide.

Challenge Your Body in Three Minutes

Rob Sulaver, founder of Bandana Training and founding trainer at Rumble Boxing in New York City, stopped by our MH Rec Room and showed us a three-minute circuit you can use as a stand-alone or as a workout finisher.

The three moves are: the dumbbell thruster, bent-over dumbbell row, and mountain climber. Go through the circuit five times as fast as you can without pausing. In the first round you’ll do 10 reps of each move. In the second round you’ll do eight. Then six, and so on, all the way down to two. If you finish your five rounds in less than three minutes, hold a plank for the remaining time.

"Avocados contain heart-healthy fats. Ranch? Not so much," says Men's Health food and nutrition editor Paul Kita. He recommends swapping the bottled stuff from a made-from-scratch dressing. To make, blend 1 avocado with the juice from 1 lime, adding additional water to thin, if necessary. Then season to taste with salt and pepper.
