Its that time of year when your schedule is
going to start to get even busier, with holiday
shopping, parties, celebrations, and other
events. Finding time to maintain a regular
workout schedule can seem challenging, not to
mention the wide variety of holiday foods you
will want to enjoy.

The most important thing you want to avoid is a
complete interruption in your workout routines.
The last thing you want to do is to stop
exercising. If you do this, it only takes about
two weeks before your body starts deconditioning
itself. This makes it much more difficult to get
back into your normal routines after the
holidays.

Plus, it can up to three time longer to
re-establish your prior fitness level before you
stopped. It is better to continue to exercise
at least twice a week. As long as you can fit in
two intense cardio workout sessions where you amp
up your heart rate, you will find it much easier
to get back into your normal workout routines
once the holidays are over.

If you will be traveling for the holidays and
away from your fitness club in Toronto or
elsewhere in the GTA, consider alternative
solutions, like using the fitness equipment in
your hotel or going out jogging. If it is too
cold outside, and you are staying with relatives,
who have a two-story home, a slow sprint up and
down the stairs for about a half hour is a great
workout.

In cases where you are finding it difficult to
fit in exercise in the afternoon and evenings,
consider moving it to earlier in the morning.
Most people are far more likely to stick to their
workouts when they do them first thing in the
morning, before going to work or doing other
holiday activities.

It also helps to schedule your workout sessions
on your calendar. Just remember to allow
sufficient travel time to/from the fitness centre
so you are not rushed or do not have enough time
to complete your workout.

The biggest temptation for many people is
overdoing it when it comes to eating all those
tasty holiday foods, treats, cookies, and
desserts. Dont let yourself get too carried
away. It is okay to indulge a little and enjoy
your favorites. For instance, if you have an
afternoon lunch and an evening dinner to attend
on the same day, consider eating a full lunch,

but skip on afternoon desserts and at the evening
dinner, enjoy lighter options and dessert. It
is also beneficial to use portion control to
avoid stuffing yourself. Most importantly, listen
to your body! If you feel full stop eating, even
if food is left on the plate. You can always ask
the host/hostess if you can take some of the food
home with you to enjoy later.
