The holiday season tends to go hand-in-hand with overeating and not exercising. But just because it is a time of celebration, it doesn’t mean you have to lose your health.
Here are five tips from Pure Fitness to help you stay fit this holiday season:
Tip 1: Schedule “Cheat Meals” Around Your Holiday Parties
Holiday parties are filled with lots of delicious goodies. Unfortunately, these tasty treats are much nicer to your taste buds than they are to your waistline.
One way to avoid packing on extra holiday pounds is by scheduling “cheat meals” at your holiday parties.
Pure Fitness can help you stay on top of your health goals with tips and advice on meal planning and prepping, and also grocery store tours to help you learn what foods you should eat verses those you should avoid. Schedule a session with our dietician today!
Tip 2: Avoid the “Holiday Drinks”
Drinking water is essential to staying mentally and physically fit, which is why it is essential you get enough water, especially this time of year.
As you are probably well aware, the holidays can be a very stressful time. But did you know that this stress can increase your risk of dehydration? Being dehydrated can make you more prone to overeating and weight gain, bloating, digestion problems, and low energy.
So, this holiday season, ditch the coffees, sugary sodas, and alcoholic party drinks, and instead, opt for good ol’ H2O! It may be plain, but it will provide you with many perks, like a turbocharged metabolism, hydrated skin, and a decreased risk of catching pesky winter-related illnesses.
Tip 3: Schedule Your Workouts Around Your Holiday Events
This holiday season, your schedule will be packed with parties to go to, parades to watch and get-togethers with family and friends. With a mile-long to-do list, it can feel impossible to fit in exercise. The key to squeezing in your workouts is to schedule them.
Pure Fitness schedules personal training around your busy schedule.
Tip 4: Make Movement a Daily Habit
When the weather turns cold and the holiday season makes us crave cozy nights indoors, it can be difficult to get moving. But in order to get fit, you will need to make movement a daily habit.
Studies show that 60-90 minutes of moderate physical activity per session will keep you leaner and more energized all season long.
Tip 5: Find a Workout Buddy
If you find it hard to stick to an exercise plan, you may find it useful to have an accountability partner.
Having someone who relies on you and who will also motivate you to hit the gym will help you better achieve your fitness goals.
