Try to follow your regular meal plan.</b> The biggest weight gaining trap during weekends is haphazard eating and drinking. <br /><br />Planning will help you control your calorie intake. Packing your food always helps you eat healthy and saves money. <br /><br /><b>If you are going to eat at restaurants, look at menus online before you go.</b> If you don't have any idea of what you are going to eat, you will tend to stop at the first food chain that triggers your taste buds.<br /><br /><b>Second, don't skip your workouts. A great workout is always your safety net.</b> You can always burn more calories if needed. And, don't ever skip both your Friday and Monday workouts! <br /><br />Why? Because you will be tempted to blow off the whole weekend and not workout at all. Sometimes, this turns into weeks, months and years of missed workouts!<br /><br /><b>Here are some good replacements for your weekend workouts (if needed):</b> <br /><br /><b>1. Playing on a rec sports team.</b> Having fun while you burn calories always works. And, its a change up from your regular cardio workout.<br /><br /><b>2. Mowing the lawn and trimming the tree hedges.</b> These are serious calorie burners.<br /><br /><b>3. If you use Saturday or Sunday as your day off from workouts, do two 30-minute walks (one in the morning and one in the evening).</b><br /><br /><b>4. Try a group exercise class at your gym.</b> A spin or Zumba class burns tons of calories.<br /><br /><b>5. Go running at the lake.</b> A change of scenary is always good.<br /><br />6. You come up with calorie-burning activities that you like. <br /><br />Have a great weekend and spring break!<br /><br />Be sure and download your <b><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com/p/dumbbell-and-medicine-ball-metabolic_17.html#.UeY_3tLqmuI">Free Dumbbell and Medicine Ball Metabolic Fat Burner Workouts</a></b> and start shaping your body faster!<br /><br /><b>Mark Dilworth, BA, PES</b><br /><b><a href="http://yourfitnessuniversity.com">Your Fitness University</a><br /><a href="http://myfitnesshut.blogspot.com">My Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://herfitnesshut.com">Her Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://sportsfitnesshut.blogspot.com">Sports Fitness Hut</a><br /><a href="http://rapidfatlossandsixpackabs.com">Rapid Fat Loss and Six Pack Abs</a></b>
