Date Night: pick a “new-to-you” place and split dessert.
Girls’ Night: order a few apps for the table and do a “best bite” vote.
Family Night: go early, keep it casual, let everyone pick one thing to try.

Harco Style 2025
Simple Office Workout
Indulge in Restaurant Week guilt-free by adding this quick 10 minute routine. Whether you’re at the office or WFM, all you need is a chair.
Time: 10 minutes
Equipment: chair + desk or wall
Goal: real movement that’s office-appropriate (no floor work, no jumping).
Harco Style 2025
1) Seated Core Brace — 10 reps
Sit tall with feet flat. Gently tighten your stomach like you’re bracing for a cough. Hold 5 seconds, relax.
2) Sit-to-Stand — 8 reps
Stand up from your chair, then sit back down slowly.
3) Desk/Wall Push-Ups — 10 reps
Hands on a desk (harder) or wall (easier). Lower your chest toward your hands, press back.
4) Standing Side Steps — 10 each direction
5) Calf Raises — 15 reps
Hold the chair lightly for balance. Lift heels, pause 1 second, lower slowly.
And repeat 2x! That’s it.
