Memorial Day Workout

Warm weather, backyard barbeques, lounging around…

Those are probably a couple of items on your Memorial Day checklist. But what about adding a quick workout?

You're going to want to do some activity to counter all the extra eating and drinking that you may have planned for your day off.

Here's a list of benefits you'll get by just adding a quick cardio or resistance training workout before your partying begins:

• Increased metabolic rate
• Metabolize sugars better
• Burned calories
• No missed workout days
• Better mindset after workout to focus on making healthier decisions
• More energy to carry you through your day

Here's an even better idea. Why not get a bunch of friends together and head outside for a sprint workout, jog, or some fun body weight exercises? Everyone will feel a whole lot better and it's a great plan to spend more time together on your day off.

Have fun and enjoy your Memorial Day!
