Weekend Fitness Enthusiast

We try so hard to stick to our fitness and nutrition plans during the week, but once the weekend comes, everything tends to fall apart. Not having a routine on weekends can really derail our progress toward our fitness goals. We need to stay committed and tackle the weekend head-on to succeed. Here are some helpful tips to keep you on track during the weekend.

Like how you prepare meals for the workweek…
HAVE A FEW HEALTHY MEALS READY FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS WAY, IF YOU’RE BORED OR HUNGRY, YOU CAN GRAB SOMETHING QUICK, HEALTHY, AND DELICIOUS!

Since you likely have more time on the weekend, schedule a workout. Weekend workouts can be some of the best because you can dedicate more time and really push yourself, whether it’s at the gym or at home.

Be realistic about your weekends. You might cheat a little on your nutrition plan, and that’s okay! Enjoy your weekends, just don’t go overboard.

Stay active even if you can’t make it to the gym. Get off the couch for at least an hour or two. Play a game of touch football with your kids, rake leaves, or work on your to-do list.

Get moving and break a sweat.
After a hike with your dog, you might crave a cold drink. Remember that alcohol is full of calories and sugar, so drink in moderation. These empty calories can contribute to weight gain.

Consider having a couple of protein shakes over the weekend. They make for a quick snack or even a meal replacement (add some fruit) if you’re super busy.

Stay hydrated throughout the weekend. It’s easy to forget to drink your usual amount of water, but make a point to keep up with it.

Perhaps the most important rule of all—relax and get some sleep!
If you don’t find ways to relax and make healthy living enjoyable, you’ll never stick with your nutrition or exercise plans.

Take care of yourself, both mentally and physically, and keep smashing your fitness goals, weekend warrior!
