Holiday Fitness is Challenging, but not a Barrier!
Posted By: Kelly Huggins Atlanta Buckhead Personal trainer on 11/20/2011
If you're already into fitness, or just getting started, the holiday season poses its challenges. Not only are you confronted with sweet treats on a weekly (if not daily basis), you're schedule becomes more hectic as you try to schedule trips, tend to relatives, buy gifts, etc. Though holiday fitness is challenging, it is only a barrier if you allow it to be.
Tips if you're already in a fitness program:
Don't quit: Let's face it, there is a lot going on during the holidays that can throw you off track. However, that does not mean you have to quit altogether. If you miss a workout one day, reschedule it. If the boss throws in a last minute meeting during the time you were going to go workout, make-up for it by coming in at a different time and/or another day. When you're used to getting three sessions in, don't throw in the towel if you are only able to get two in this week. As a matter of fact, you should adapt and overcome. Just reschedule for a different day. Do a make up day. There is no reason to put your health and fitness goals on hold because it's the holidays. If anything, you should have an extra day or two off from work that will allow you to make up the days you missed or add an extra day.
Remember why you're doing it: What matters is that you keep moving forward. Getting fit and losing weight are lifetime goals. Remember that one of the reasons you exercise is to also "beat up" some stress. This is especially true during the holidays.
Consistency. If you have an "all or nothing" attitude, be very careful as you may be setting yourself up for failure. Keep doing what you know you need to do and don't let anyone stand in your way.
