How to stay fit during the Holiday season

 The exciting holiday season is around the corner! You might already pack your backs to head home. Oh, wait! Aren't we stuck at home forever during this pandemic? I know what you feel. But the difference this holiday season is you, finally getting relief from the never-ending hectic classes. Guest lists have become shorter, large gatherings switched to online meets, and going out is restricted! Amidst all this, how do you maintain your fitness goals? Do you workout in a home gym or would you rather subscribe to an online fitness training program? 

Earlier, with work, you had a schedule to exercise. But now, the lazying around days begin, binge-watching, partying with friends might definitely sound like your holiday plan! Isn't it? One thing that's common in all these, is delicious food. Be it online or offline, grabbing tasty meals while attending social parties is obvious. Guiltily, you dig into the food, sulking of unavailability of time to workout. 

A little extra food harms nobody! Provided, you ensure to burn those extra calories by hitting the workout sessions. It seems daunting to have a fixed workout schedule during the holiday season. You know what is lacking that makes you think this way? 

Planning! Sure, you will have days when you are extremely busy, but that should not come in your way of maintaining a fitness routine. Skipping exercises for a day or two do harm when you keep extending days, adding up extra fat. If you are looking for tips to stay fit during the holiday season, then keep reading.  

1. Get grooving

Hit the dance floor at the parties! Dancing is a great fun workout to shed down the calories. A 30-minute dancing burns nearly 400 calories. If you are busy making the guest list, inviting, cooking, chances are you will not find time to exercise. For such busy yet joyful days, don't miss out on the fun part. Dance away all the extra calories by grooving to your favorite songs without worrying about skipping workouts. 

If you love dancing and want to add this party mood into your daily workout routine, then join Zumba sessions. You don't have to party daily to dance, but you can dance daily to the party by registering in Online Zumba classes! Or you could also create a music album with tripping songs and keep dancing. 

2. Eat many times, in a smaller proportion

The mouth-watering dishes on the dining table can be very tempting. Do not overindulge in excess eating that will tremendously disturb your diet. Enjoy the special holiday meals, but digging in entirely, can be a bad idea. So, try to cut down on sugar, by switching to eating sugar-free desserts. Try out recipes that can be made deliciously with healthy ingredients. 

Skipping the meals, especially, breakfasts leads to less metabolism, making you hungry and tired. Eventually, you’ll end up overeating. Rather than trying to make it up to a consumption of extra calories by skipping meals, try working out to burn them. 

Eat at regular intervals in lower quantities by checking on the calorie intake. 

3. Set realistic goals

Don't set unrealistic expectations on the days you feel motivated. Instead, discipline yourself in religiously following a routine without skipping. Now, I know what you may think. Isn't it almost impossible to show up to work out? 

Yes, it can be. But planning an outing, playing with your cousins on a snowy evening, walking to a supermarket, helping with holiday chores will add up to burning calories. 

To maintain a track, stick to a workout routine by subscribing to online fitness sessions. 

4. Exercising when you don't feel like

Lethargy can creep in, convincing you to skip the workout. During these days, remind yourself why you started. Think of what's so overwhelming about the exercise. If you have a monotonous routine, try out different fitness workouts. Schedule your fitness activities with a friend, engage in fun group workouts. 

Plan out before reducing any chances of missing exercise. As per the time availability, you can select a convenient session. For days when you have less time to exercise, go for high impact HIIT sessions. 

5. Subscribe to a fitness plan

Committing to a fitness plan allows you to track your daily progress and to minimize the time of choosing a workout plan. Using a tracking device that counts the number of steps you walked, calories burned gives you a motivational pump to switch to activities that will help you accomplish targets.

Having a fitness plan develops a daily routine that enables you to reach your fitness goals. Subscribe to a flexible schedule that allows you to change your workout preferences to meet fixed fitness targets. Many people give up when they find sessions boring, but the goal is to give up on the plan, not on your fitness goals.

Follow these tips to stay fit during the holidays. Enjoy your holiday season along with exciting fitness plans to become extra sweet and not stuffed with extra sweet. Happy holidays :)
