Spring Weight Loss Tips & Medifast Momentum
If you found yourself to be somewhat of a couch potato during the cold, winter months, now is the time to spring into action! Warmer weather is upon us (or at least just around the corner), and now is a great time to get things rolling! Walk or bike outdoors and enjoy the blooming flowers. Grab your rollerblades or tennis rackets. Look into summer programs for the whole family, as these often get booked up quickly.
Watch the Road
Now that spring is finally here, you are probably eager to get outside to walk, bike, and jog. However, be aware of the new potholes and cracks in the roads and sidewalks. The wrong step could leave you with a twisted ankle. It might not hurt to drive your chosen path first to check for potential hazards. You could also choose a path that you know to be safe, such as a dirt t rail or a track.
Spring Clean Your Way to Fitness
Still putting off your spring cleaning? Don’t think of it as a chore—think of it as a great workout! Here is an example of approximately what a 150 pound individual may burn in one hour of cleaning:
- Light cleaning (dust, vacuum, change linen): 170
- Mowing the lawn (power mower): 307
- Heavy cleaning (wash windows, wash car, mop, clean garage): 307
- Home repair (painting, papering, laying carpet or linoleum): 307
- Moving furniture: 409
Workouts-Part of Your Daily Routine
Trying to squeeze a workout into your day unsuccessfully? Instead, physically schedule an “exercise appointment†into your daily routine. This will help you keep to your agenda and activities on track.
Cook Lightly
Looking for an easy way to add flavor to meals without a lot of calories? Try cooking with low-sodium broths (such as vegetable, beef or chicken) instead of higher calorie alternatives. You may be surprised to find that just a small amount of bouillon can be used to stir-fry vegetables or tofu or simmer meats.
To stir-fry with bouillon simply place a pan with a small amount of bouillon over high heat. When the broth is warm add your vegetables or tofu and continue to stir veggies until they are cooked al dente (crisp to the taste). To simmer meats, simply turn heat down to medium and allow to simmer, watching to ensure the pot does not accidentally boil over.
