1 - SET REALISTIC GOALS & EXPECTATIONS:
Over the holiday season it is important to set goals that are realistic and achievable, such as maintenance, rather than weight loss.
Remember you can still enjoy the holiday season without derailing all the progress you made throughout the year. This can be achieved through exercising moderation and balance, rather than an all or nothing approach.
2 - STAY ACTIVE:
Make the effort to stay active the best you can.
Plan out and schedule your sessions for the week.
Even if you are shorter on time or away and not able to commit to your regular training schedule it is important to still fit in some form of movement, such as a walk, bodyweight circuit or an activity that gets the whole family involved. Remember, some form of movement is better than no movement at all.
A morning session is ideal before a busy day of events.
Staying active with a friend or family member is another great way to keep moving as you can keep each other accountable.
3 - BALANCED NUTRITION:
Eat normally and regular meals throughout the day - avoid skipping meals as this could lead to overindulgence.
Prioritise good quality protein and veggies with main meals - this will keep you most satiated and fuller for longer.
Practice moderation and mindfulness - yes, you can have dessert, however perhaps a smaller serve and take your time to enjoy it.
4 - STAY HYDRATED:
Regularly hydrate with water all throughout the day.
Limit alcohol consumption and alternate alcoholic drinks with water to stay hydrated.
Avoid over consuming highly sugary cocktails & beverages.
5 - PRIORITISE SLEEP:
- Aim to average 7 - 9 hours of sleep per night to ensure you are well rested and recovered.
In summary, maintaining flexibility, exercising moderation, and setting reasonable expectations will help you stay on track towards your fitness and nutrition goals while still enjoying the holidays. The holidays are the ideal time to practice balance, which is the secret to long-term success rather than perfection.
