Well I was back home in Pittsburgh this weekend for one of my favorite country music stars', Kenny Chesney, annual outdoor tailgate party . And what a weekend it was. It's always great to meet up with my old high school buddies and enjoy the hot weather by the river. But staying healthy while having fun? Now there is a challenge. Here are a few of my tips on how to conquer a great weekend at the tailgate.
1. WATER. You will hear me say this one over and over again, but water really is key. Almost every bad thing you do to your body is helped by drinking more water. And guess what, standing outside in the 90 degree heat drinking beer is going to dehydrate you (even if it is coors lite...). This weekend was as hot as any, and good thing we planned ahead and brought a few gallons of of water to the tailgate. Keep your friends hydrated and happy!
2. Bring something fresh for eating. While of course there will be hotdogs, hamburgers and chips, what's wrong with a little watermelon or strawberries? Even better, impress your friends and make something creative involving alcohol and fruit. At least the fruit part will be healthy!
3. Move your body! It's nice out, it's a great place to run around and catch a few footballs. And when the concert starts...DANCE! Get up and have some fun! This is the best way to burn off some of those extra calories at concert and it's fun.
