Admit it.. we all have those times in life when you’re feeling a bit lazy and don’t want to get out of bed..
Well Here’s some tips and tricks for the “lazy girl” to keep health and fitness quick and easy!
-
Keep It Short: Instead of hitting the weights or treadmill for an hour or more, opt for a quicker, more intense workout like H.I.I.T. (High Intensity Interval Training). You can find some of these workouts can be found online or on Pinterest and only take about 30 minutes!
-
Get it done early: Start your day with your workout so you don’t have a chance to skip it later when you’re tired.
-
Kill two birds with one stone: Cardio and Weight-training don’t have to be done separately. Combine them to get more bang for your buck. Example: Dumbbell shoulder press, combined with mountain climbers.
-
Double your TV binging: Your commercial breaks can be mini-workouts that add up after hours of watching your favorite shows. Example: Commercial one, push-ups; Commercial two, crunches; Commercial three, squats.
-
Socialize at the same time: Grab some friends to join you for your next fitness class. Catch up on gossip and enjoy each other’s company while you burn calories!
-
Pack the night before: You’re more likely to make it to the gym when you’re already packed up and ready to go.
-
Drink Up: Drinking plenty of water will help you burn fat and staying hydrated will help improve your workout performance.
-
Try for 20: If you can’t do a full hour 3 times a week, do 20 minute workouts at home for 7 days. It’ll even out.
-
Stay caffeinated: If you’re too tired, pump up with some coffee, green tea, or pre-workout. Caffeine has been linked to better workout performance.
-
Reward Yourself: After your workout, reward yourself with a piece of chocolate, new workout gear, or just an hour of relaxing. This little reward will motivate you to workout again the next day.
-
Keep healthy snacks in your purse: for emergency situations for example your friends are eating donuts… you can grab that donut flavored protein bar in your purse and avoid that extra calorie gain. I recommend the MyCookie from ProSupps! It’s sweet and kicks that sugar craving in the butt!
