1. Don't eat just because it is there (and free!)
The functions over the holidays usually have a focus on food – and plenty of it. Drink plenty of water and have a large meal before you attend, and you will be less likely to snack. If and when you do snack, put food items on a plate so you can see exactly how much you are consuming, rather than just picking up items arbitrarily.
2. Keep up your regular fitness routine.
Or at least some form of it. If time becomes scarce as we venture deeper into the holidays and your fitness time decreases, increase the intensity of the workout. Incorporate a fast-paced, high intensity 30 minute circuit with weights and cardio rather than long, drawn-out cardio session. www.acaintraining,.com is offering 30 minute
3. Don't hold off on your goals until the New Year.
Don't overindulge with the idea that you will resolution yourself back to fitness.
4. Choose your alcoholic beverages wisely.
2-3 drinks have the potential to completely waste your workouts as they are high in calories. Avoid binging, or choose lighter drinks such as spritzers, vodka with diet drinks or even water and lemon.
5. Exercise at home
Incorporate body resistance exercises, outdoor running/walking or other physical activities you can do in your home if you cannot make it to the gym. See posts below for ideas.
Plan ahead, make healthy decisions and enjoy your holiday season!
