Alright y’all, you know I’m all about enjoying the food you eat and the drinks you have, but you should also know by now that I L-O-V-E a good sweat session and after all those carbs we have consumed from the Christmas cookies, sweet potato casserole, coconut cake (that can’t just be me, right?! lol) we have PLENTY of extra energy in our bodies just waiting to be used!! So let’s use it up and BURN IT UP!! I always crush the best workouts after eating a lot of food… calories ARE energy after all!
Also, a favorite practice of mine after a big meal like Christmas is going on a walk after. Just a slow, leisurely walk, but it helps you digest and just stretch your legs. It feels good 🙂 I did this after Thanksgiving while wearing my Uggs so you don’t have to go crazy with it. 10 minutes will do you good!
