Have the holidays taken a toll on your Women's fitness goals this year? Just about everyone I know that is involved in women's fitness in buffalo and Western New York has hit a wall this holiday season, allowing the stress to drag them into over sleeping, poor eating and awful depression.
Here are five tips to get you out of the holiday choke hold and back on track!
1. Laugh every chance you get! To often people get caught up in the wrong idea about holidays. This year just make it a point to laugh at everything. When I say "everything" I mean literally find things amusing that would of turned your head at before. CHEER UP!
2. Most people confuse "watching what they eat" with not eating at all or skipping meals. This holiday season do not skip meals and do not purposely skip over food because "you had to much earlier." Your body needs "fuel" to keep your metabolism burning, if you only eat once in a while your body will build a memory and begin to store these foods as fat because it does not know when you are going to eat again. Keep a steady pace of fuel on the fire and you will see a much bigger change then not eating.
3. Get off the couch! Just because you ate all day does not mean sit down and watch the fat build around your mid section. Get up help with the dishes or pick up around the house. Stay active instead of sitting idle most of the holiday season
4. Do not wait to start your "New years resolution" for Women's fitness. Start right now! As soon as it is some thing you want go get it. The longer you wait, the more likely it will be that you will continue to put it off.
5. You do not have to go to the gym to get a workout this holiday season. I know many gyms are closed or deserted for the holidays but you can still keep on top of things. Use things around the house as opportunity to exercise. Squats while brushing or lunges while sweeping. Stay active and do not stay idle.
