Great weekend tips on how to relax without compromising your fitness efforts!



Saturday and Sunday relapsing can wipe clean your fitness gains which were made earlier in the week. Here's a few very good tips to relax on the weekend, and still feel awesome on monday! So without furter blabber, let's get rolling!



On the weekends, there's almost always some party that you "must" attend to. The wise thing to do would be sticking to water or other non-alcoholic beverages.
But in case you'd like to have some good time, here's a few tips:


Squeeze in at least one long workout later in the week to counteract the extra calories you'll undoubtly consume during the weekend.

Take a break from your typical routine of jogging, say, attend a boxing class. You'll burn more fat as you put demands on different muscle groups. Take a swim instead of your typical cycling route; or play basketball or soccer. Maybe instead of a short run go for a longer one that includes sprints and hills.

Start your Saturday and Sunday with a healthy breakfast, even if you wake up a little late. It'll quicken up your metabolism. Breakfast is one major part in weight controlling and fat loss.

While at home, jump on the scale on Saturday morning, and do it again on Monday. Research says people who weigh themselves are better at controlling their weight

Variety is the cornerstone of a healthy nutrition, but having too many options might spell disaster for persistent snackers. You need to restrict afternoon snacks to one healthy choice, such as almonds, apples or other fruits.


When heading out to a bar, do it with a full belly. Eat a meal with at least 180grams of meat, poultry, or fish and a cup or more of vegetables, raw or cooked. When you're full you're less likely to crave high in fat barfood.

Stay away from mixed drinks. They can contain over 500 calories per glass. Stick to a 150-calorie beer or glass of wine. Or you can order something which is made with a low-calorie mixer, like diet soda or diet tonic.


Remember to rest! Sleep deprivation is a disaster for your metabolism and it makes it difficult to avoid overeating, especially after a long night of drinking.


While eating out, set the tone for the meal by choosing a healthier entrèe.

Don't waste calories on foods, like white rolls or baked potatoes. Save those calories for foods you don't usually eat or make at home. That makes the meal more special and separates it from your everyday routine.

Drink with dinner, not before. A drink before the meal lowers your resistance, making you much more likely to eat something greasy and unhealthy. Something you definitely wouldnt want to eat!

So keep those tips in mind when you go and have a good time! You'll be more likely to feel better when starting a fresh week the next monday!


Next week I'll go in deeper on why almost 90% of the conventional diet plans fail and do not produce the wanted results.
And I'll give you the tools to beat those odds!
