Pick your cheat days wisely so you don\u2019t overdo it. And try to limit your sugar intake, as those are the foods that are the most likely to pack on the weight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel smart:<\/strong> Are you traveling to visit family this holiday season? Book a hotel with a fitness centre or pool so you can still get a workout in away from home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get competitive:<\/strong> Are you expecting a FitBit for Christmas this year? If so, that\u2019s a great way to meet your fitness goals and hold yourself accountable. Use it to your advantage. Also, ask your gym if you can snag a few guest passes. It\u2019s common practice for gyms who are looking to grow membership in the New Year. This way, you can work out with a buddy and hold each other accountable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sign up for holiday-themed fitness events:<\/strong> Does your community do a holiday fun run? Start a new tradition by entering it with your family or friends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make sure to sleep:<\/strong> Even amid the chaos of the holiday season, you should make sure that you\u2019re getting at least eight hours of sleep per night. Those who do are about three times less likely to get sick, not to mention adequate amounts of sleep is ideal for your mood and mental health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get creative:<\/strong> We get how the holidays can also be a great time to unwind and relax, but staying active is key to a healthy lifestyle. Here\u2019s an idea: Instead of lounging on the couch and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.letsbemates.com.au\/mate\/best-netflix-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bingeing that show<\/a> you\u2019ve been wanting to catch up on, take your tablet to the gym and watch it while you\u2019re running on the treadmill. Get creative so you\u2019re able to do the things you want, but still stay fit and active.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take time for yourself:<\/strong> As we\u2019ve mentioned in this post, the holidays can be chaotic. That said, be sure to take time for yourself. Go and get a massage, set aside time for reading or just take a break each day to sit quietly and think. A little mental break can do the world of good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How do you plan to stay healthy and fit during the holiday season?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s turkey, ham, cake, chocolate, and probably a few beers and wine.
