I
know what you are thinking-the holidays are a time for fun
and indulgence. You don't want to think about fitness during that time. You
want to enjoy yourself. Don't worry! The festivities don't have to be
eliminated or avoided. You can have a fabulous time while also
maintaining your weight and your fitness regimen.
The
secret to achieving a holiday season that is both full of
fun and also includes fitness is found in moderation. There are
two typical approaches to the seasonal festivities:
(1) throw all healthy habits
out the window and indulge in every guilty
pleasure;
(2) starve and binge approach
(for example, you eat nothing all day long to
allow yourself to overindulge in party food).
Of course, neither approach is successful at maintaining a healthy, fit lifestyle throughout the holiday season.
As
mentioned above, the key is found in moderation. With a moderate approach both
to what you eat (or don't eat) and how much
exercise you do (or don't do), you can avoid packing on extra weight and also partake in all the fun of the season. So this season, get a head start instead
of starting later, with extra kgs to
lose.
