For all my girls out there who are passionate about balancing their health, fitness, and fun. I know when the weekend rolls around the only worry is our lack out motivation to hit the gym and failure to resist the bar food. But that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the weekend. Below are some useful reminders of 6 ways that you actually do burn calories on the weekend.
1. Shopping
Ok ladies. We all know shopping is our favorite type of cardio. I like to think of it as hitting two birds with one stone and I know everyone is guilty of busting out their power walk here and there. There is window shopping and then there is being on a mission. Regardless, shopping is the best cardio because no matter what you have to walk to get to where you need to go.
Getting ready for a night on the town or in the middle of the dance floor...never be afraid to bust a move. Dancing the night away is one of the best calorie burners because you're moving your whole body!
Ever hear the story that those who laugh a lot live the longest? Well, another story is that laughing can give you great abs! Coming from a girl who doesn't know how to NOT laugh, I have yet to see this being true. However, I know I feel pain in my stomach after laughing so hard I can barely contain myself. So laugh away!
Why is it that girls wear tank tops and tube tops no matter the temperature? Oh, I know! Because if the top is cute then it is appropriate for a night out. Sometimes we don't feel like wearing a coat just to take it off in the bar and hold it all night. So what do we do? We don't wear the coat and sprint from the car to the entrance door and that my friends is a calorie burner.
5. Heels
Beauty is pain! But pain from high heels results in nice calf muscles!
A hangover so bad you can't eat breakfast until dinner. Need I say more?
So never sacrifice your happiness for the fear of messing up your weekly routine because remember, balancing work and pleasure is the key to a happy and healthy life. Work hard, play hard!
