Holiday Hott
It’s time for that well-deserved break. You’ve worked hard and with the holiday season looming, the thoughts of losing all your hard work during all the festivities ahead could be causing some stress.
It’s understandable, but there’s no need to panic. I’ve got you:
TIP 1: Do shorter workouts
You can still work out in the festive season – it doesn’t have to be an hour but stay active with 10, 20, or 30-minute workouts. High Intensity Training (HIIT) is great to get the blood flowing and the calories burning quickly.
TIP 2: Implement walking workouts or a new fitness class
Walking is a great exercise to do. It helps tone legs and burns fat. It can be done with the whole family. Outdoor walks in the fresh air will do you good. For an added challenge, strap on some ankle weights. Trampoline Parks are also always a win with the kids!
Walking with your family along the Promenade, in the forest or mountain is a great activity that will keep you on track.
Beach or swimming days are exercise and a way to cool off.
If your gym or fitness studio closes OR you’re traveling, workout with me on the app. https://rushtush.com/rushtushfit-app/
Your fitness never needs to take a break, unless YOU need to take one.
If you’re travelling: Pack in a couple of workout clothes to wear on rotation. If you have access to a gym on site then you’re sorted but if not, pack easily transportable exercise equipment such as a resistance band.
If you’re in Cape Town, watch out for the Summer RushTush fitness events; such as the RushTush Run Club. Sign up for the newsletter and watch the @rushtush Instagram page for details.
TIP 3: Fast or eat clean after over-consuming (food or alcohol)
I always fast or eat clean after heavy meals and Hulk Juice is a must for the day.
I follow the Naked Glow guide for the festive season as it’s a CUTTING diet that allows for eating whatever you want on certain days strategically and scientifically. I have used it for many years to keep my weight down or shift weight.
Plan your social events, family gatherings and Christmas lunch, etc around your high-carb or off day. Naked Glow works by carb cycling and I will teach you all the tricks in the eating plan. You can learn more about that here.
Also, ensure that salads and veggie sides are always available at family gatherings and events. Google new dishes to try. There are also refreshing salads and juices in most of my eating plans, so if you have any of the eBooks, give them a try.
Some of my eating plans also include sweet snacks, pancakes, smoothies, pizza, and burger recipes if you want to treat yourself but still eat healthy well-balanced protein- based meals.
TIP 4: Keep spraying the magic
Over the years, many women have reported weight loss or weight maintenance, despite going off their eating plan while on holiday. Gluc Support and Meta Spray are a must for me, all year round.
Tip 5: Cool off with something refreshing with detox or fat-burning benefits
Try our Strawberry Mocktail Recipe, Hulk Juice, and chopped berries in yogurt mixed with protein powder or collagen. Light meals from the Glow Cleanse are great in summer when the heat makes you not want heavy meals. And Bad Bitch Juice is always a win.
I always have Hulk Juice, any green juice and/or green powder tonic for one of my meals over the December holidays. Always stay hydrated with water to help flush out toxins and keep bloating at bay – your RushTush Gluc Support can also help with this.
You deserve time for fun and relaxation. Allow yourself some downtime and self-care so you start next year well-rested. Enjoy every moment of your end-of-year break! There is no need to obsess over every calorie or meal. Maintaining a balance and consistency is what counts.
When the holidays are over and you’re ready to get back into full swing, start with Metabolic Spray to boost your energy levels and target your lipotropic factors and melts stubborn fat, pair it with the Glow Cleanse to debloat and detox and restart your digestive system. You’ll start the year on a good note.
Love, Rushda
