Love the Holidays? Hate the extra weight gain? Here is five tips for you to use this holiday season, so you can still enjoy your holiday and avoid the weight gain.
- Don't go to a holiday party hungry. Do not starve yourself before a party or dinner this we set you up for failure. Eat smaller meals throughout the day and have a snack before you head to the party.
- This is the most important time of the year to hit the gym. No missing any workouts. Burn off those extra calories that you are taking in.
- Save those calories. You know you have a holiday party that night, eat a smaller breakfast and lunch.
- Don't pile the food on your plate. Eat smaller portions. After each bite put your fork down. This allows your mind to tell your stomach that you eat enough. Then after your first small plate wait 20 minutes if you are still hungry, go grab another plate smaller then the first.
- Last but not least, alcohol. Some alcoholic beverages have more calories then the food. Try a glass of wine, instead of a holiday drink thats loaded with calories.
Use these five tips to help you keep the weight off this holiday season. Most importantly remember to laugh, have fun, and enjoy the time with your loved ones.
What a better way to start our blog off with the same topic that you should start every workout with? Dynamic Warm Up. What is a Dynamic Warm Up you ask? A Dynamic warm up is functional movement based stretching that uses sports specific movements to prepare the body for your workout. You should be sweating before your workout. If your warm up now consist of 5 minutes walking on the thread mill or elliptical you are doing your body and workout a huge disservice. This warm up will challenge your coordination, your conditioning, and make you sweat. Not only does a great warm up jump start you neuromuscular system, get you lose, increase your core temperture so you burn more calories, it also helps prevent injury.
Your dynamic warm up should take you anywhere form 8 to 10 minutes. Guidelines for your Dynamic Warm up:
- Perform 10 repetitions for each movement.
- slowly increase Range of Motion (ROM) during each rep.
- Increase speed of motion during sets you feel comfortable
A Sample Dynamic warm up looks something like this:
Jumping Jacks- 10 Reps
Seal Jacks- 10 Reps
Body weight squats- 10 Reps
Forward Lunge- 10 Reps
Reverse Lunge- 10 Reps
Lateral Lunge - 10 Reps
Walking Tin-soldier- 10 Reps
Skipping Tin-soldier- 10 Reps
Power Skip- 10 Reps
knee Hug- 10 Reps
Inch Worm- 10 Reps
Before your next workout try this sample dynamic warm up and see if you have a better workout. A warm muscles generate more power and reacts better to any demand that you place on them. Not only does this warm up get you mind and body ready for the workout, but has you burning calories before the core of your workout even begins. So try it out, and let us know what you think.
