Staying
fit over the holiday!
Keeping fit over
the holidays may seem very hard, and too difficult to manage. The wonderful
food that can be hard to resist, and the lazy days with the family around make
it less tempting to get out for a run or attending a class.
But with a few
strategies and a helping hand you can keep your holiday fitness right on track
and feel good as the New Year begins.
·
Set the goals of
simply maintaining your weight; Christmas is not a time of the year when you should
to have to “holdback”. Be realistic and enjoy the holiday season, but don’t overdo
it.
·
Think about the
meals, we don’t need to eat Christmas dinner every day over three weeks. Have
same fruit and vegetables before lunch and dinner, which will help you not to
be starving for the meals and be realistic about which day is actually
Christmas
·
Cut down on some
of the “heavy” foods, skip the potatoes and add a fresh salad. Don’t save
yourself for the big lunch or dinner. Eat your normal, healthy breakfast and
lunch so you don’t overeat by the time the “big” meal comes around.
·
Stay motivated
to exercise by giving yourself incentives. Keep an activity chart on the
refrigerator and reward yourself with some new exercise gear when you have
reached your goals each week.
So what should
you do?
30-45 minutes
brisk walk every day
3 times per week
add some core exercises to your walk
