Nutrition Tip Wednesday!
Did you see our latest post on how to make the most of the holidays? It’s on the Nutrition blog here. Here’s 3 quick tips to make your holiday healthy and happy from CORE Nutrition. Happy *almost* Thanksgiving!
- Sweat in the morning – start your day on a high note with a good sweat. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks. What better way to give thanks for your body and health by moving!
- Eat breakfast – eat a well-planned breakfast consisting of mostly protein and minimal carbohydrates. You will certainly get enough carbs later in the day. You don’t want to go into your Thanksgiving meal in a fasting state, so keep breakfast simple and protein-packed.
- Eat slow to avoid overdoing it – Instead of being mentally restrictive with yourself and what you can eat, or beating yourself up after you’ve eaten half a pie, eat what you want but eat SLOW and enjoy every bite. After all, we only enjoy this meal once a year. If you eat slowly and mindfully, you are less likely to overeat. Because we all know that too much of a good thing, isn’t good.

Coaching tip: You will spend more time rowing today than anything else. Your coach will go over form and technique during your warm up but here is a video to watch that covers some great pointers. Focus on long, strong pulls, so that you will be ready to hit the other movements when you get off of the rower. Practicing good rowing form will reinforce good movement patterns that will benefit you in the long run on other movements.
