TIPS TO HELP YOU STAY FIT DURING THE HOLIDAYS

The festive season is here!! With so many partying, travelling and catching up to do; it is easy to  lose the year’s work in these few weeks of merry making. Below are tips to help you stay on your guard as you enjoy the holiday.

1. Plan ahead: Without a plan it is easy to lose yourself amid all the fun. Plan your workout and meals ahead of each day. If you intend to attend a party or dinner, eat less during the day, so you don’t turn down meals and you don’t over eat.

2. Workout in the morning: Workout early in the morning before the day’s fuzz and busyness.  It will help you stay in control of your day.

3.  Moderation is Key: What is the need for all the hard work if you can’t indulge? Don’t spoil the holiday for family and loved ones by refusing to eat at family gatherings or parties. But remember that moderation is key. You can eat little servings of different meals.However, be conscious; don’t over eat, stop eating when you are full and say no when necessary.

4. Consume more fruits and vegetables: Eat more fruits and vegetable this season. They will keep you filled and help your digestive system function effectively.

5. Be active: Find ways to stay active this season, indulge in physical activities. On days you intend to stay in, you can keep yourself active by doing more home chores or just taking 10,000 steps around the house.

6.Make it fun: This is the holiday season and everything has to be fun or you will find excuses to drop it. So make your workouts fun; invite friends and family. Plan a boot camp with loved ones. Change your playlist, whatever adds spice to your routine be sure to try them out this season

7. Connect with nature: The holiday season is a time to discover and try new things,About this time last year, I went step climbing on the 310 steps of the famous ogbunike cave and have wonderful memories of the experience.  Add adventure to your workout this season and have fun all the way.
