After a full day of eating wings and lounging around, you may be feeling really sluggish and really guilty for pigging out on game day. Here are five post-Superbowl workouts that will whip you back into shape in no time!
1. Walking/Jogging
Start your day off with a brisk walk or a jog. This will help you get the day off on a good start and serves as an invigorating warm-up to the rest of the workout and the rest of the day. Don’t forget to stretch!
2. Planks
Planks are great for strengthening your ab muscles! Try holding a plank for at least 1 minute. You should definitely feel the burn, and your stomach will thank you for helping it fight the bulge from your previous Superbowl meal!
3. Jumping Jacks
Jumping jacks are a great way to get your heart pumping and your blood flowing! Try doing at least 50 jumping jacks to kick start the fat burn.
4. Squats
Squats are a great workout for the butt and legs. To really feel the results, try doing three sets of 5-15 squats.
5. Wind Sprints
If you’re really feeling hardcore and want to get an amazing post-game day workout, try doing wind sprints. This is an exercise that I’m sure most football players are familiar with. It requires you to run from one point to another and back, taking breaks between intervals/sets. Below is a video on wind sprints. Of course, you don’t have to run across a whole football field, but try setting shorter checkpoints for yourself and work your way up.
