Personal Trainer Quick Tip :
Sticking to Your Diet and Exercise Routine During the Holidays!
The holidays can be a hectic time of the year but it doesn’t have to keep you from achieving your goals! It is going to take some self-discipline but you can fight the bad choices that will be presented to you. We are going to break down a couple ways to help you say no to the holiday’s bad choices.
How to Eat Well During the Holidays:
Most likely the best choices will not be present. In order to make the best of the situation you should control portion sizes. Don’t go overboard on the bread and mashed potatoes. Instead fill your plate with mostly proteins and vegetables. When it comes to dessert, stay away if possible. If not, 1 cookie is ok, 10 cookies is not!
How to Stick to an Exercise Routine:
Saying the gym isn’t open is no excuse! Go for a brisk walk or run after dinner to stay active, it’s easy and free! If it is too cold out for you then stay inside and do a body weight circuit. A routine like pushups, squats, burpees, and plank is simple yet effective. Perform each exercise in a row with minimal breaks for 3 sets. This shouldn’t take longer than 10-15 minutes. This is quick and keeps you active during the holidays! Try it out!
