Staying Fit This Holiday

Season

By Steve Moye

Plan ahead

• Work around vacations and family commitments.!

• Schedule out weeks of training surrounding travel plans.!

• Use days off as recovery and amp up training before and after.

Go early• Change up your schedule to

hit the gym early and get in a workout before having to go to family commitments.

Partner up• Find a workout

partner to keep you motivated.!

• If spending time with your family, get them involved in group activities.

Use bodyweight

• Even if you can’t hit the gym, you can get in a great workout by yourself with bodyweight.!

• Workouts can be done anywhere with limited equipment and just about 20 minutes.

Accumulate volume

• If you can’t do one big workout in the day then use smaller, shorter workouts throughout the day instead.

Keep evaluating yourself

• Evaluate your progress regularly to determine if your program is achieving desired results.!

• Knowing about the progress you are (or aren’t) making will be able to motivate you to work over plateaus.

Indulge and resist

• Resist the urge to overeat.!• Indulge in your favorite foods, but limit

yourself to how much of them you eat.
