Tip # 2- The Day After

Ok, so yesterday I gave you some advice on what to do before the big feast- lifting heavy, large muscle group right before indulgent meal. What about the next day? The next day, although usually motivation is not sky high, I make sure to have planned a workout with someone to keep me accountable. I usually train alone, but by making a date the next day, post- holiday meal, I ensure that I wont miss it.  I don’t recommend your typical, mindless steady state cardio here. I do however recommend doing a circuit type workout with little weights and higher reps this day to add some extra caloric burn.  Try doing 5-8 exercises in a row in the 15-25 rep zone with a lighter weight.  Think about hitting every body part, starting from the largest to the smallest; legs, back, chest, shoulder, tris, bis, core and repeat. Throw in some burpees, box jumps, skipping rope, ball slams and other dynamic movements to get that sweat on! Make it short and intense- all you need it 15-25 minutes when giving it your all.  Here is a circuit you can do if you don’t have access to a gym! Let me know how it goes!! Remember, by planning your workout the next day, you will most likely do a little less damage the night before! Happy Sweating!
