Is working out the first thing on your mind after an indulgent weekend? After a couple of days out of routine, it is hard, so hard to pull together the motivation to fight the lethargy and do anything. But, if we don't find that motivation somewhere, getting back on track may come 20, 30 or 50 pounds later. Just try pulling on some fitting pants you work last week (not the stretchy kind)? If they are super uncomfortable, that can be motivation enough! Step 1: Start Slow No matter who you are, your body is going to feel it after a night or nights of heavy eating and drinking. You're going to be lacking energy, as your body will have spent most of the night or last couple nights digesting all of the food and drink you consumed over the weekend. Getting your body back up to speed definitely will feel like a challenge, but it is totally possible. The idea it to start slow and ease into it. Not only will you be able to get through the workout, you won't hurt yourself! Step 2: Get in Your LISS Low-impact steady state (LISS) aerobics will help to get your body working, your blood pumping and your digestive system rolling. Start out with walking or a bit of cycling--stationary bike or regular bike both work. Start your LISS slowly, at a leisurely pace. You may be pretty low on energy, so let your body catch up with the workout you're doing. After about five minutes, you'll start to feel better, and it's time intensify a bit (speed up or add resistance). Within 10 minutes, you can probably be up to speed--which you should then sustain for the next 15 to 20 minutes for the proper aerobic workout. Step 3: Time to Train Once you've gotten in your aerobics, it's time to hit the weights for your muscle-building routine. You may not have enough energy for a HIIT workout, or for a full-on bodybuilding workout that leaves your muscles shaking and drained. Instead, go for a circuit training routine that will hit all of the muscles in your body and burn away all those food calories. Your circuit workout (10-12 reps) should include (in the following order): Bench presses Standing rows Lunges Military presses Barbell curls Squats Tricep extensions Cable pull-downs Leg presses Do this circuit routine twice, and your body will feel so much better! Step 4: Digest Well
Your digestion is going to be under construction after a heavy meal or binge weekend, so it's important that you drink a lot of water and find a way to detox all that alcohol and food. A great way to detox is drinking Iaso Tea from Total Life Changes. Iaso Tea is gentle and works great - this is my go to product! Be diligent in caring for you body, it's the only one you have!
