Catch up on Fitness this Memorial Day Weekend

Catch up on Fitness this Memorial Day Weekend Memorial Day Weekend is finally here and we can all enjoy a three day weekend. Most of us are looking forward to some boozing and hanging out with friends - and traveling if you're not phased by the screwy gas prices.

You could use this extra day off to jump-start your fitness goals!

If you don't have much planned this weekend, definitely spend time planning out your health and fitness goals (if it's important to you... I imagine it is because you're on this site). This vacation is an excellent way to get back on track and really gear up for bathing suit weather. By the way, if you're just starting to think about getting a bathing suit bod now, you're a little behind schedule... but it's not too late.

Am I saying you should spend all weekend on a treadmill?
No... In fact, maybe just throw one or two workouts in this holiday weekend. But, there's several things you can do to get your health life back on track.

1. Take advantage of the extra time and get in a solid workout - it'll feel good. A lot of times we're squeezing our workouts in between work and dinner time. This weekend gives a great opportunity to get every last set in.

2. Sit down and re-plan you goals - Now that you're aware that it's finally beach weather, analyze if your body is where you want it to be. Either way, whether you're happy with the bod or not - set new goals on maintenance or improvement.

3. Catch up on Life - I mentioned earlier that you're probably squeezing in your workouts. Mainly because we still have lots of tasks on our "To Do" list that we don't have time to do. Get them done this weekend and they won't take away from your workout time next week.

That being said... Also do your best to have fun - cause that's probably important for mental health and stuff.

runningbear Excellent post. I actually had some time to implement your #2 suggestion; definitely an area I needed to work on!

OzzieOcean Great post, many valid points. I love long weekends cause I always try and fit in 2 workouts on that extra day, cardio in the morning, and then a weightlifting session with a bit more cardio at regular workout time.
