Christmas Fitness Survival Tips

Christmas is here and you may be worried about your fitness progress taking a hit. It’s a busy time of the year.  Allow yourself some breathing room and do what you can when you can!!  Below are just a few tips to help you survive…

  • Give yourself permission to lower your exercise intensity level over the holidays to compensate for your missed sleep and added stress. 
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ December’s On-Demand playlist includes some lower intensity BASIC30 workouts that are great for any fitness level.
  • Don’t skip your exercise day unless you have to.  There will be days you will not have a choice because you’ll be traveling or buried up to the neck in your holiday things to do list.  Exercise just won’t happen on those days.  So be extra diligent on your normal-non-holiday-hectic days and do not skip just because you’re not feeling it.  If you go ahead and just do it anyway, you won’t feel so guilty on the days you don’t have a choice.
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ On-Demand workout videos are ready whenever you are.  They are on your schedule. You can even use them on your phone in a quiet corner of the gym if you don’t want to workout at home!
  • If you can’t get in your normal 30-45 minute routine, try to get in a quick 10-20 minute session.  Moving your body is not an all or nothing endeavor.  Any movement is good. 
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ December’s On-Demand video playlist includes some shorter HIIT workout options.
  • Don’t use exercise as a punishment for your holiday overindulgence.  Instead use exercise as a stress reliever.  You may want to incorporate some mobility or yoga in your routine this time of year.  Maybe you prefer hard hitting high intensity work.  Either way, make it hurt so good and let it be a fun stress relieving experience for you, not a punishment.
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ December’s On-Demand video playlist includes some mobility and yoga as well as shorter HIITs to help you find the right stress reliever for you.
  • You don’t have to count your calories, but make your calories count!!  There will be so many opportunities for you to eat dense calorie foods, don’t waste those extra calories on something you don’t really love. 
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ If you’re going to have to go through the trouble of losing it in January, make it worth the effort.
  • Make a list now of some healthy options for quick pick up meals or easy throw together meals for those busy days that you don’t have time to cook.  This will help avoid ordering pizza three times a week during the hustle and bustle of the season.  We all feel better and have more energy for holiday stress when we have some good nutrition in us. 
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ Don’t add to your stress by eating poorly when you don’t have to.
  • When in a pot luck sort of situation, don’t forget fresh salads or vegetable and fruit trays to go along with your calorie laden, delicious, speciality that everyone wants you to bring. 
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ Take both so you, and everyone, can get a little nutrition along with their treats.
  • Always remember why we celebrate the season.  It’s not all about food, parties, and gifts.  Take time out to exercise your spirit and spend some time with the One who sent His Son to humble himself and leave the very throne room of God to be born a man, live a sinless life, and become the ultimate sacrifice for us.  Because of Jesus’ birth and resurrection, we can have a restored relationship with our Heavenly Father that includes not only an eternal life, but also an abundant life here on earth surrounded by the peace that surpasses all understanding because He is with us and will never leave us or forsake us. 
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ Just a reminder to worship this season…through His Word, through prayer and thankfulness, through giving, through song, and through the corporate gathering of your local church.  Come let us adore Him!!
  • If all else fails, just relax and enjoy your loved ones. 
  • 🎄🤶🏻❤️ I’ll be here for you to help you get your fitness under control when January rolls around!
