It is that time of year!! 4th of July is upon us!!<\/p>\n

Burgers on the grill \u2026 fireworks in the sky \u2026 and for many .. an excuse to skip the gym and eat thousands of calories .. in one sitting!<\/p>\n

It can be tempting to throw your diet and training mindset out the window when holidays come around. But you must treat holidays just like you would any other day.<\/p>\n

Have fun .. enjoy the time with family \u2026 and even enjoy all the food .. but keep your goals in mind. One of the best things you can do .. is still get in a solid workout!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got the perfect 4th of July PRE PARTY PUMP!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The workout we’re giving you below will not only burn a ton of calories .. the endorphins released from this short HIIT workout will boost your mood .. which will help you keep your healthy food habits in mind when it\u2019s time to fire up the grill!<\/p>\n

We will never tell you that you need to \u201cearn\u201d your calories .. that is not the kind of relationship with food we promote here at V Shred & Sculpt Nation.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Food should never be seen as \u201cthe enemy\u201d or \u201ca reward\u201d .. and exercise should never be viewed as punishment.<\/p>\n

Diet culture makes us feel bad about having a nice dinner with friends, and it makes us fall into the mind trap that holidays will make us gain weight.<\/p>\n

What happens next?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We feel guilt .. and view exercise as \u201cpunishment\u201d we \u201chave\u201d to get up and do the next day .. or as justification that if we burn a ton of calories pre-feast .. it\u2019s okay to eat that extra serving of ice cream or calorie-filled cocktail.<\/p>\n

Once you get this mentality, you will begin an endless (and very unhealthy) relationship with food. You will start to believe you ALWAYS have to earn food .. and will only feel okay about enjoying yourself .. if you have exercised.<\/p>\n

Instead, look at your patriotic pump as a FREEDOM that you are blessed to have! You have an able body that GETS to move!!!<\/p>\n

And view all that 4th of July food as FUEL! Getting in a workout before a big meal is a great way to rev up your metabolism and prepare your body to USE (instead of store) any extra calories you may consume!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fall into this food guilt trap..<\/em>But also don\u2019t go to the totally opposite end of the spectrum and make the holidays an excuse to be lazy and throw all your food mindfulness out the window! Use the short 15-minute workout\u00a0 below and then ENJOY your day!<\/p>\n

Alright .. let\u2019s get our PATRIOTIC PUMP ON!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Here is a quick fat blasting FOLLOW-ALONG cardio workout that won\u2019t interfere with your day full of fun with friends and family!<\/p>\n
