DEL.ICIO.USMemorial Day Fitness Plan
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Knowing that today is Memorial Day, I am going to keep it short and sweet with some Memorial Day fitness tips:
- Before you start off cooking all that wonderful food, take a really nice and long walk, play a few sets of tennis, or simply use those dumbbells hiding in your closet and do a few sets. You say you don’t have time, but today you have the day off. Therefore, there is no better day than today to start some good habits.
- Grill meats that are low in fat. Instead of ribs, grill some chicken (without skin) and some shrimp. Make some really nice kabobs with red and yellow pepper, and mushrooms. Grill some sweet potatoes wrapped in foil (they’re quite tasty).
- Drink plenty of water. If you’re going to be outside, drink plenty of water. If you drink alcohol, try to limit your consumption and still drink some water to keep from dehydrating. (Needless to say, DON’t drink of drive).
- Don’t forget to relax. Sometimes, a holiday can be a lot of work. Take a break and don’t worry so much. Relax by the pool, lay out in the sun (but not too long and use sun screen when necessary), and for goodness sake, don’t do any office work. However, if you get any new ideas, write them down and get to them tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day and don’t forget that this day is in honor of those who fought and died for our freedoms. God Bless!
