My wife cooked a great "Fench bistro" Christmas dinner: steak with mushroom sauce, sauteed potatoes, and garlic green beans, followed by a decadent chocolate tart and blueberry coulis.
We had some great red wine from Paso Robles to along with the meal.
The meal was a amazing.
All that being said, an easy trick I use right after a successful Christmas dinner is to speed up my metabolism!
I don't forget the essential life hacks.
And this includes: do not be inactive on Christmas day!
So, I go for a 2 mile, run, on an empty stomach (I do drink a bit of water before running) first thing in the morning, on Christmas day!
It feels great!
You sweat a lot of toxins out, and you can even breathe heavy towards the end if you try to finish fast (I sometimes try to sprint the last 30 seconds of my 2 mile run).
The best beginner running tip is to start running progressively, and last for 20-25 min.
You do NOT have to run on an empty stomach if you are a beginner.
You can also go 1-2 hours after breakfast.
Here is the pattern to get started with running:
The goal is to progressively improve your time on the running distance you covered that day.
In addition to my run I also like to do a calisthenics leg work during that "fast metabolism day".
And the reason is, calisthenics leg workouts are a much more demanding in terms of resources that upper body workouts.
Prioritizing legs the day after a good meal is a smart choice if you try to burn more calories that day.
So later in the day, I also like to bike to my workout, then workout on legs (light + volume), mobility, and core.
I also have a lighter yet very nutritious dinner on Christmas day.
And I do that every time I need to.
Next on the list: January 1st, 2024!
The key is consistency!
