Thriving Through the Holidays: A Guide to Staying Focused on Exercise and Healthy Eating
The holiday season is a time of joy and celebration, but it can also be a time of overindulgence and weight gain. With all the holiday parties, gatherings, and delicious food, it can be difficult to stay focused on exercise and healthy eating. However, with a little bit of planning and discipline, you can thrive through the holidays and maintain your fitness goals. At Pilates Core Center, we understand the importance of staying active and eating well throughout the year, which is why we've put together this guide to help you stay on track during the holiday season.
1. Schedule Your Workouts
One of the best ways to stay focused on exercise during the holiday season is to schedule your workouts in advance. With so many social events and obligations, it can be easy to let your fitness routine slide. However, by setting aside specific times for exercise, you can ensure that you stay on track and make fitness a priority. At Pilates Core Center, we offer a variety of classes and personalized training sessions that can fit into even the busiest schedules. Whether you prefer group classes or one-on-one sessions, our experienced Pilates instructors provide personalized attention to each client to ensure proper form and technique.
2. Choose Healthy Options
During the holiday season, it's easy to overindulge in rich, calorie-laden foods. However, by making smart choices and opting for healthier options, you can stay on track with your healthy eating goals. When attending holiday parties or gatherings, look for vegetable-based dishes, lean proteins, and whole-grain options. Avoid sugary drinks and desserts, and instead opt for water or herbal tea. At Pilates Core Center, we offer nutritional counseling to help you make healthy choices and stay on track with your healthy eating goals.
3. Get Enough Sleep
Getting enough sleep is essential for maintaining your energy levels and staying focused on exercise and healthy eating. During the holiday season, it can be tempting to stay up late and indulge in late-night snacks and drinks. However, by prioritizing sleep and getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night, you can maintain your energy levels and avoid the temptation to overindulge. At Pilates Core Center, we understand the importance of getting enough sleep, which is why we offer early morning and evening classes to fit into even the busiest schedules.
4. Stay Accountable
Staying accountable to your fitness and nutrition goals is essential for success during the holiday season. Whether it's through tracking your workouts and meals or enlisting the help of a friend or fitness professional, staying accountable can help you stay focused and motivated. At Pilates Core Center, we offer personalized training sessions and group classes that can help you stay accountable to your fitness goals. Our experienced Pilates instructors provide personalized attention to each client to ensure proper form and technique, and can help you stay on track with your fitness goals.
