Nothing is more important than your health. Get into shape with expert advice from Samantha Clayton, Herbalife’s director of Fitness Education of Herbalife.
According to Samantha Clayton, Herbalife’s director of worldwide fitness and education, it’s all about minimizing impact. “No matter where you are on your personal wellness journey, think twice before over-indulging during the next few weeks. My advice is to, at the very least, try to break even and maintain your weight this holiday season. It’s amazing how easy it is to gain weight in such a short amount of time, and although weight gain is an easy as eating a few too many pieces of pie, taking off those pounds come January is a much harder tasks.”
Tip 1 – No
savings:
Don’t cut down or starve all day to enjoy the party at night. Skipping your breakfast and lunch is a not a good way to avoid weight gain. There are many reasons why this is a good tactic; a drop in sugar level, lack of energy and lack of concentration are just a few of the down galls of the “starve and binge” technique. Chances are, if you wait all day to enjoy the party food, you will consume twice the amount because you will be so hungry.

Tip 2 –
Snacks:
Have a healthy protein rich snack before
you head out to a holiday party. Filling yourself up on healthy
snacks that contain protein will keep you full and stop you from
having that extra cup cake.
Tip 3 –
Move around:
Use holiday parties as an opportunity to
socialize with your friends. Keep walking around and don’t park
yourself next to chips and dips. Walking counts as exercise so the
more you move the better.
Tip 4 –
Dance:
Let loose and dance off the party calories;
the extra bonus is that the more time you spend dancing the less time
you will spend eating.
Tip 5 –
Routing:
Don’t skip your work-outs. The best thing
you can do is keep your exercise routine intact. We all know holiday
diets can go awry, but if you can at least keep your workouts going
it will help.
Tip 6 –
Watch your drinks:
Try to avoid drinking too many sweet
drinks. It’s amazing how many calories can be hiding in a simple
holiday punch. Stay hydrated with water helps.
Tip 7 –
Maximize your time with quick fix workouts:
If time is tight try to do a quick
10-minute routine in the morning and another 10 minutes before you go
to bed. Simple exercises performed in an interval style will help
burn some calories and keep you toed over the holidays.
Tip 8 –
Step away from the computer:
Sitting in front of your computer screen
looking for that bargain may cost you in the long run. Stay active
this holiday season by walking around the shops and carrying bags or
boxes doubles up as a workout.
Tip 9 –
Make every minute count:
Think active all holiday season. Take the
stairs. Park in the furthest spot from the store. Get outside and go
for a walk. The more active you are the fewer points you will gain.
Tip 10 –
Routine:
Don’t wait until January 1st
to start you exercise plan, start today. The sooner you get your body
into a positive active and healthy routine the better chance you have
of reaching your personal health goals.
