The Super Bowl Exercise Game: Workout While You Watch

The Super Bowl is synonymous with friendly get-togethers and party food . Too bad it usually leaves us feeling weighed down by the time the night is over. This year, let's change that!

Whether you watch the game on your own this weekend or invite a few fitness-minded friends to join you, vow to keep this year's game night healthy with light Super Bowl eats or my favorite: The Super Bowl Workout Game ! It's a fun, calorie-torching, muscle-challenging game that you can play (if you dare!) while you watch on Sunday.

Try this workout on Super Bowl Sunday or while you watch any football game in the future.

Every time the call or action on the left happens, perform the exercise listed on the right. It's guaranteed to have you rooting during the game (for the right or the wrong reasons!) and to make you sweat...a lot.

Skip the Ice Bath,

Try Cryotherapy

How many of you remember the dreaded ice bath experience of your high school or college training days? There is nothing fun about sitting in a tub full of ice water as a trainer attempts to convince you that the benefit far outweighs your discomfort. Well it is good to be an athlete today because technology has given us a new way to fight inflammation, sore muscles and sore joints.

Chicago CryoSpa, the first cryotherapy treatment facility in Chicago, delivers an accelerated ice bath effect for sore muscles and joints in an efficient and effective manner. Cryotherapy provides numerous benefits including reducing inflammation, repairing muscles and joints, boosting energy levels and metabolism and providing the ultimate athletic recovery.

U.S. Travel Band Raises Questions for Athletes

British Olympian Mo Farah and his team spent much of the weekend sorting through the details of the executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Friday concerning immigration and travel. Farah raised concerns that he might not be able to return to his home in Portland, Oregon, following a training stint in Ethiopia.

Farah may be the highest profile runner to speak out after the White House announcement, but officials staging the 2021 world championships in the U.S. and bidding to host the 2024 Olympics in Los Angeles are also facing uncertainty.

Trump's executive order suspended entry of refugees to the United States for 120 days, and it has also barred entry into the U.S. for 90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Those who hold dual citizenship in one of the seven countries are also blocked from entering.

The bid for Los Angeles to host the 2024 Olympics could also face extra scrutiny.
