In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams addresses the challenge of balancing weekend indulgences with maintaining fitness goals, particularly for those over 40. He discusses the "vicious cycle" many face when trying to burn off weekend calories during the week, explaining that weight loss becomes harder with age and requires more effort to achieve. Brad shares his personal approach, where he enjoys weekends but compensates with a strict, low-calorie diet and efficient workouts during the week. He emphasizes the importance of understanding calorie intake and expenditure, especially the hidden calories in alcohol and food consumed during social events.
Brad also introduces strategies like adding extra physical activity, such as jumping on a trampoline, to burn additional calories without feeling deprived. He highlights the importance of tracking both calories and activity levels, encouraging listeners to find a system that works for them. Ultimately, Brad reassures his audience that it’s possible to enjoy life while staying fit, but success requires smart choices, discipline, and awareness of how weekend behaviors can affect long-term goals.
