How to Avoid the Post Super Bowl Rut

Hands up how many people enjoyed a Super Bowl party? There is a very good chance that most Americans and many more people around the world were glued to a television set somewhere and indulging in beer and unhealthy food.

The chances are very high that you may have drunk way too much beer and ingested enough salty food and fatty food to keep a third world country going for a week.

But that is all cool. Yes, I am not going to berate you like a naughty child because you went out and enjoyed yourself. Everyone is allowed to do that once in a while right? I do so myself at times and I enjoy it when I do!

Now, you are probably thinking this sounds pretty strange coming from a fitness professional. Am I right?

Sure, it may sound like a damaging admission that can ruin my credibility in the industry but it just goes to show that it is okay to enjoy yourself once in a while and you don’t have to beat yourself up and feel bad about it.

The main thing that people who did indulge during the Super Bowl, or any big event for that matter, is to not let that day be a precursor to letting those eating habits rule your life.

The first thing you should be doing the day after the Super Bowl, or your big party, is to get out and exercise. You need to try and put some money back into your body bank by working off some of the calories that you have eaten and drank.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any equipment available at home, that is just another limiting belief and excuse that people give themselves.

You can get a great bodyweight workout, and burn off some unwanted belly fat in the comfort of your own lounge room with this little exercise routine that comprises only five exercises, each done for 15 repetitions.

These exercises are as follows: 100 Star Jumps, 20 Burpees, 20 Floor Trunk Extensions, 20 Hover to Push Ups and 20 Plyometric Jumps are your exercises. Repeat 2 times through and you'll be well and truly toasted.

The other big tip for you the day after a big event is to ensure that you are drinking plenty of water. Too often people suffer from a hangover after a big day or night and the only reason a hangover occurs is because you are dehydrated. Yes, simply drinking water when you are enjoying a few drinks and before you go to bed that night can help prevent you from feeling like the world is going to end.

So, now you have two fool proof ways to ensure the day after the Super Bowl or any big party is not a total write off that leads you to bingeing even further on unhealthy food options to ease your stomach which feels like it is doing somersaults all day.

Don’t make excuses after a big day out. Make smart choices that will encourage you to achieve the best fat loss results possible.
