How to survive the winter and keep the weight off

Date: October 31st, 2020

The winter has begun, and it's hard, cold outside, it's hard to get out of the house easily because you have to wear million layers, get an umbrella and how to get fast in the car to turn on an air conditioner for heat because "God save, the car is frozen!"

 

So just before we give up on going home for a gym workout, or a moment before dialing the pizza delivery number because we don't have the power to get off the couch and make an omelette, let's see what options we have that allow us to stay home in pajamas too And eat properly!

 

We all have a chair, a wiper or broom stick, and big water bottles.

So you probably ask yourself what is the context of all these things?

Know the phrase No Gym - No Problem?

So here's a way to apply it easily!

 

Just as we in the gym use a bench and do shoulder press or Bulgarian or parallel or push-ups on a positive slope, here the chair plays the role of the bench.

And of course, water bottles, which play an important role in training, but also in our body.

60% of our body weight is made up of water, which helps water all the processes in the body that take place in a liquid environment and without it may be detrimental to the body's metabolism which is reflected in inhibiting processes such as weight loss, weight gain or preservation of the existing condition.

 

So the water is here for you to drink it, because in the winter the feeling of thirst decreases, because the cold weather, we sweat less, and less fluid is excreted from the body and therefore the body does not signal us to drink.

 

So a little reminder:

      • Men 2.5-3 liters of water a day
      • Women: 1.5-2 liters of water a day

(Depends on activity level and body structure)

 

And another role of water bottles is to serve as hand weights (and for those looking for challenges, go for the 2-liter bottles).

Like we do Angels / Dead Lift / Chest Shake with hand weights, here we do it with a bottle of water in each hand that serves as a dumbbell.

20-30 reps

And don't forget our broom stick!

Do you know the "squat against pole" exercise?

So here's our broom stick role. Although there is not a lot of weight here, so there is the ability to specialize in your technique and it is enough that you double the amount of reps you usually do to the set, you have already started to get tired of the first set!

Squat

20-30 replays

 

And how is the Win-Win Situation trial going?

So just before you start this workout, place a small pot of hot water and eggs (on a small heat) on the gas, place in the oven your slices of bread (on low heat) and after you've finished the workout, all that's left is to cut some vegetables, take out the cottage from the fridge and ... Walla! Dinner is ready in a minute and a half.

 

Another important point to think about is that in winter we are covered with a lot more layers of clothing and less see what happens underneath all those layers.

 

It's hard to notice if there is a change in our appearance, if we gained or lost weight and there is a chance that at the last minute we will discover it and then the work is more difficult.

 

Here you have the ability to influence and preserve your body to be ready for any surprise to come!

So what did we have here?

 

  1. We earned training
  2. We stayed at home without going out in this dreadful cold
  3. We saved calories of oil in an omelette

 

Oh and most fun, all that we did with our pajamas!
