World Cup Workout
|
Love it or hate it for the next month or so you will not be able to avoid the World Cup- research has shown that if you eat a packet of crisps and drink 1 pint of beer per game then you would put on at least half a stone!!!
So in order to stop this from happening you CAN workout whilst enjoying your football and I’ve come up with some little tips below. For those of you who either don’t like football or are a world cup ‘widow’ then you can still take advantage of the world cup. Supermarkets are offering food at low prices as they bid to win the ‘price’ war these deals not only apply to world cup watching food but to healthier options as well, also many gyms have slashed their membership prices during June and July in order to keep retention levels up so take full advantage of these and get fit for summer at the same time.
World Cup workout- tip 1. If you must go to the pub to watch the games rather than stay at home then don’t be lazy and catch a bus or taxi- walk their, this will burn loads more calories maybe allowing for an extra pint if your team does well. Also eat before you go- foods like brown bread, beans or pasta dishes will help fill you up to help soak up the alcohol and it will help you NOT to buy pub food which is normally more fattening than conventional foods and more pricey as well.
World Cup workout – tip 2. If you decide to stay in and watch it (and to a lesser extent at the pub) take advantage of the half-time interval- you have 10 minutes to stretch out or to go for a walk- don’t use this time for an extra pint or food. The half-time commentary is usually a load of nonsense anyway!
World Cup workout- tip 3. Instead of lazing on the sofa watching games getting your posture all imbalanced try to sit on a Swiss-ball or on the floor against a sofa or wall- this will help straighten out the back/neck muscles and in the long-term keep you more balanced and supple.
World Cup workout- tip 4. Use household items to do some weights with whilst watching the football, even a couple of full beer cans can help- start by holding them by your side elbows tucked in and lift your arms to your shoulders keeping the elbows tucked in- ‘bicep’ curls. Or start with them at shoulder level and press your arms straight above your head to get the cans to touch- ‘shoulder’ press. Or start with the cans next to each other on your chest muscles and then open up your arms to they fully extend either side of your chest- ‘pec’ dec exercise.
