8 Ways to Get More Out of Your Weekend Workouts

You made it to the weekend!

You made it to the weekend! Aside from a break from the daily grind, it means a lighter schedule to do what you want when you want. With no meetings to run off to or deadlines to meet, you have more time to devote to your sweat sessions, so here are some ways to get more out of your weekend workouts.

  1. Go long: Without having to squeeze in your workout before, during, or after your nine-to-fiver, you have more time to devote to exercising, so use your weekend to do longer workouts. If you normally run or swim for 30 minutes, go for 45 or even 60. Or sign up for a two-hour hip-hop dance workshop.
  2. Fill in holes: With limited availability during the week, you might only have time to do cardio and that's it. So use your time on the weekend to devote to areas of your workout that you miss like strength training or stretching.
  3. Break away from routine: During the week, you stick to the workouts you're used to, ones that take the least amount of prep, and the ones you know are effective. That can get super boring though, so use your weekends to ignite your passion for moving by trying something new or doing workouts that take more time. Go indoor rock climbing, sign up for paddleboard yoga classes, or try that new Tabata workout at your gym.

Keep reading for more ways to burn more calories and get more out of your weekend workouts.

Tea Tree Oil: Magic in Your Medicine Cabinet

The next time you head to the drugstore, be sure to add tea tree oil to the top of your list.

The next time you head to the drugstore, be sure to add tea tree oil to the top of your list. With its ability to cure everything from poison ivy rashes to acne, this oil is up there with magic when it comes to natural remedies. An Australian plant extract, tea tree oil acts as both a topical antibacterial and an antimicrobial agent. While we even use it to clean our yoga mats, here are the three reasons why this powerful oil is the star of our medicine cabinet.

  1. Heals cuts and burns: Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic, meaning it can be used to help treat wounds and burns. Although large clinical studies are lacking, a study done by the National Center For Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) found that tea tree oil can be used for the treatment or wounds and bacterial infections; something the aboriginal people of Australia have believed for years. Try using a small amount of tea tree oil to heal razor burns, small cuts, and even sunburns. You can even dilute it a bit with water, since the oil can be quite potent!
  2. Clears blemishes: Tea tree oil is famed for its skin-clearing abilities. In fact, one study found that a tea tree oil gel offers similar results to a 5 percent benzoyl peroxide. Although it probably won't clear severe acne, it's an alternative solution to harsh chemicals and alcohol for the occasional blemish or two.
  3. Relieves athlete's foot: Tree tree can be known to cure all your flip flop woes. Because it's an antifungal, it's known to relieve symptoms of athlete's foot, including scaling, inflammation, itching, and burning. To completely rid the infection naturally, a stronger tea tree oil solution (25 percent or 50 percent) is likely to work best. You can also use it to fight nail infections. It will take time, but applying a tea tree oil solution, twice daily for six months, can cure fungal toenail infection and improve the appearance of nails.
