I invented a game the other day with my nephews called 2 on 2 to 22. Rather than the usual shoot around and 2 on 2 that we usually play, I invented a new way of playing basketball to keep it interesting and to play a game in a short period of time.<\/p>\n

Two teams of two shoot at the same hoop until one team scores 22 points. However, the wrinkles are as follows:<\/p>\n

1. Each team has a ball at the same time<\/p>\n

2. One person from each team has to score before he can pass the ball to his other teammate to shoot. The other teammate must wait at half court until his teammate successfully makes a shot.<\/p>\n

3. Teammates alternate until they score 22 points between them (so one player makes six shots and the other 5)<\/p>\n

4. No three pointers.<\/p>\n

5. The other team can’t hit the other teams ball out of the way when shooting.<\/p>\n

My nephews and I played three rounds of this and got a great workout. We were able to do this in under 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

What can you do at work to get a quick burst of exercise in 15 minutes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
