Make smart use of your day off
Memorial Day means three things: Honoring our servicemen and women, having a day off, and starting your summer.
So first, fly the flag. Maybe your town has a parade—check it out. And then kick back and make the most of your extended weekend:
Be crowned king of the grill. We asked top chefs from seven major barbecue regions how you can make great-tasting food at home. Now you can impress your guests with smoky Memphis-style ribs, melt-in-your-mouth Carolina pulled pork, or down-home Texas brisket. Wash it down with one of our favorite brews.
Build something of your own. If you really want to sharpen your man skills—and earn bragging rights—build your own grill. All you need are two oil barrels and a bag of hardware to create something that’s sure to get tons of use this summer.
Enjoy your favorite foods. A cheat meal is scientifically proven to help your muscle gains and prevent weight-loss plateaus. An added bonus: You’ll burn more fat at the gym—workouts are more effective when you eat. Just don’t confuse
“;cheat meal” with “cheat day.”
Fit in a fat-burning workout. Stoke your metabolism with a fast-paced bodyweight workout—like the Belly Off! No-Gym Classic workout. Or get your blood pumping with a jump rope. Ten minutes of jumping rope can provide the same calorie burn as 30 minutes of running. It uses all of your muscles and joints, which means less fat and more muscle everywhere.
