Let's dive right in!
Stay Engaged in Fitness Activities
In this technology-oriented era, we spend most of our time with a desk, a chair, and a laptop, with fingers tirelessly working out the whole weekdays. At the same time, the rest of our body parts enjoyed a never-ending vacation.
Weekends are a great time to put them through some workout sessions.
Here are some tips:
1. Join a swimming pool Classes
Studies have proved that swimming burns between 300 to 600 calories per hour on average. So go check out your nearest swimming hubs!
While you can spend some quality time chilling at the pool, there is an excellent chance to socialize with other people out there.
2. Join a Zumba class
Zumba is hands down the easiest to follow and a fun workout for people of all ages.
Talking in terms of calories, an average person burns 450-700 calories per hour at Zumba. That’s even better than swimming.
3. Register for weekly marathons.
Though running marathons is not everyone’s cup of tea, completing one gives you a surplus of happiness and a sense of euphoria.
Set your goals according to your personal fitness levels and try to achieve them this weekend, and guess what? Flex on social media!
Key Takeaway
Remember your workout schedules on weekends.
4. Explore healthy food options.
When it’s the weekend, we plan to try something new or cook a new dish at home.
There are many food bloggers. Do search them on Google and try different healthy recipes and a treat for your taste buds! But what about cooking some healthy dishes this weekend?
Seven healthiest food that you can make at home while enjoying your weekend:
- Veggie fried rice
- Dhokla
- Channa masala
- Uttapam
- Whole wheat pasta
- Tandoori chicken
- Omelet in a mug
It’s better to prepare a dish at home that’s tasty and healthy than to go out and eat spicy foods and gain nothing but some extra calories.
Key Takeaway
Try recipes by different food bloggers and chefs and tag them on your Instagram handle. Trust me; it’s addictive in a good way!
5. Maintain regular eating habits
When you wake up, you may consider skipping your breakfast, not having dinner on time, and having it late at night.
Breaking your daily eating habits or eating very little at times has severe effects on your body, disturbing the body’s circadian rhythm.
A person’s daily calorie requirement generally requires 2.000 – 3,000 calories per day in adult males and 1,600-2,400 in adult females.
If you eat three meals a day, you should consume 30-35% of your daily calories for breakfast, 35-40% for lunch, and 25-35% for dinner.
Restricting your daily calorie intake can have unpleasant side effects such as:
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Dehydration
- Constipation
- Headaches
- Crabbiness
So it’s essential to follow your usual healthy eating plan carefully during the week so you can splurge a little when the weekend comes.
Key Takeaway
Your eating habits define your body’s circadian rhythm, disturbing that it may cause some serious ill effects.
6. Go outdoors
If you’re a freelancer or someone doing a remote job, you spend most of your weekdays sitting at home and doing your work. But we need to get in touch with nature.
The weekend presents an excellent opportunity to get outside, see the sun, and get in touch with nature because the majority of us spend daylight hours at work indoors.
If you plan to go to a beach, the person may be very cheerful and carefree; a mountain person may appear to be very calm and composed and still be happy at the same time.
Planning a vacation induces joy that may come from taking time off from work, and feeling more energetic and less stressed, which helps clear out unnecessary thoughts throughout the week.
Key Takeaway
Go out and get in touch with nature on weekends.
7. Limit your Drinking
Some of you may consider celebrating your weekends with drinks. That’s risky! On weekends people may lose control and drink more than their limit.
Drinking beyond your limit can have many side effects, such as
- Dehydration at night
- A feeling of nausea
- Your heart starts pounding faster
- Struggle to eat correctly
Remember, enjoyment is fantastic, but not at the cost of your health.
Key Takeaway
Try to avoid drinking in extremity during weekend parties.
8. Take a Break From Digital World
We are surrounded by gadgets from Monday to Friday – from our work computers, our phones for social media and calls, TV for movies and sports, and our iPads and tablets in bed—and it never seems to stop.
You constantly stimulate your brain, and it is challenging for your body to unwind and sleep, mainly if you undertake these activities just before bed.
Digital Eye Burn is a recent phenomenon that can result from the modern light electronics emit. This weekend, you completely
- Unplug to relax your mind, eyes, and nerves. Just do some activities that can make you happy
- Try to write a journal with your pen
- Visit your friends or family
- Read an actual book or magazine, not a digital one
- Meditate
Key Takeaway
Detach yourself from technology on weekends and give your brain some rest.
Plan something exciting
We spend our whole week at work. From morning to night, every day of the week, we have a sedentary lifestyle with gadgets and do our work.
Remember! Our brain needs some entertainment too.
Working every day and not taking rests on weekends may also cause burnout, and that’s dangerous. Even if you’re going through very hectic days, don’t let those work pressures spoil your weekends.
Plan something for the days starting with ‘S’ that will make you generally happy and refreshed so you can productively work on coming weekdays. And it can be anything as listed below:
10. Plan a Picnic
A picnic is a great way to spend time with your loved ones. Pick a scenic spot and pack some snacks and games to maximise your time together.
11. Host a Movie Night
Choose a movie everyone can enjoy, and invite your family and friends for a cozy night. Remember the popcorn!
12. Take a Hike
Get some fresh air and exercise by hiking with your loved ones. It’s an excellent opportunity to catch up and enjoy the great outdoors.
13. Organise a Potluck
Host a potluck dinner where everyone brings a dish to share. It’s a great way to try new foods and spend quality time with loved ones.
14. Play Games
Spend a fun-filled afternoon playing board games, card games, or outdoor games like frisbee or volleyball.
Key Takeaway
Do things that make you happy on weekends.
Final Thoughts
In short
Weekends are there for you to enjoy and recharge for your upcoming work. But it would help if you cared for your mental, emotional, and physical health. It would help if you also prepared for your forthcoming week during your weekends to create a flow.
