The holidays are often a joyous time of food, family, friends and fun. Unfortunately, the holidays come with its own set of perils as well. Many experience physical setbacks as high calorie foods start to take its toll on their waistline.
Read on for information about how to keep yourself from the snare of letting yourself go this holiday season, as well as where to go to for additional motivation to get back on track.
Top Two Ways to Stay Fit This Holiday Season
1. Put Down That Fork
– Go ahead. Have a slice of pie, but be careful not to overdo it. Binge eating is a common trend during the holiday season, but you can be the one to break the habit.
Instead of depriving yourself of food, consider eating your favorite foods only in moderation. Doing so will allow you to continue to enjoy all of those holiday goodies without the gluttonous guilt that often follows.
2. Get Moving
– Because the holidays occur during the winter months, it can often be hard to get out and get active. While sitting on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate may sound nice, it isn’t likely to help you achieve your goals.
Instead, round up a group of friends and go skiing, or take your kids outside for a snowball fight. You could even join a physical fitness program to get you motivated and in shape. No matter what activity you choose, make sure to get up and moving!
