The holiday season is here; it’s time to eat, drink and be merry! But wait, before you begin to dig into those Christmas puddings, think about all the blood sweat and tears you shed at the gym. Here are some tips to help you stay focused and stick to your fitness goals:
Start Wit a Plan
A goal without a plan is just a wish. Planning ahead will help you achieve your fitness goals and ensure you won’t be sidetracked by the hustle and bustle of the season. We know they’ll be tons of dinners, lunches and get together, which might not leave enough time to go to the gym or workout at home. Make a list of all your events to help you decipher a suitable time for your workout. This should be #1 on your priority list, so they’ll be no chance of skipping.

Group Workout
The holiday season is all about meeting your friends and family. If your friends are planning a lunch to catch up, change the venue to your home-gym instead. They say; friends that workout together, stay together. Pull out your exercise mats and begin with some light warm sessions making your way into cardio. You can use a 5-minute break between each session to do a little chit-chat and share your plans for the season.

Make Sure You’re Always Hydrated
With excessive sweating during your workout, your body loses tons of fluid. Staying hydrated is essential, as this will help maintain your performance levels. However, be sure to hydrate yourself with water instead of sugary Christmas drinks. These drinks can add up your calorie intake, which is why you must drink them in moderation. If you’re going for a night out, stick to small glasses of top-quality red wine.

Eat Your Meals
You might want to refrain from consuming those heavy Christmas meals, but don’t keep yourself hungry. Munch on small portions of healthy snacks during the day so you won’t worry about over-eating at a dinner party. If you do eat at a party, choose a salad instead of the shepherd’s pie. Small steps make a big difference in the end.
