Holiday Fitness Tip: Do Not Diet on Thanksgiving. Be Thankful, Active and Enjoy!

Yes, I said it. Skip the guilt, calorie/fat/carb/points counting and enjoy the Holiday!

—> Eat – Have Fun – Be Thankful—> It is a HoliDAY! Then back to heathy eating/moving/living.

(of course you could workout early in the day…

On Friday, restart you healthy lifestyle plan.

If you are traveling a long distance, here a rule to follow after all stressful and long traveling days…

My 24 hr rule for all traveling. Works for all travel, not just around the Holidays. Business travelers this means you too!

Get outside and go for a walk or exercise that day, or within 24 hours, if you arrive late in the evening. Everytime.

Make a point to drink extra water. Add flavored packets if you don’t like plain water.

How about a Thanksgiving day AM workout - before the Holiday fun...

After Your trip:

After returning home, unpack, do laundry, wipe down suitcase, repack and refill essentials. Put your packing list on top with items repacked/refilled crossed out. Put a post-it or sticky note on your luggage as a reminder for things that you want to remove or add to your packing list.

Do this within 24 hours of being home. Every time. Ends up only taking a few minutes…. less stress, more time to get outside

Sneakers: Your Secret Weapon While Away

Traveling is one of the most common excuses I hear for lack of exercise.

This excuse, of course, always makes me wonder if the excuse maker had traveled to a vacation in the clouds or to a communist country which strictly punishes physical activity by death. If not, why else would the mere concept of exercising while away from home seem so outlandish? Folks, I’m gonna be frank. Excuses stink and travel should not stand between you and the healthy body you’re eager to have.

The secret to taking the complexity out of this ”working out while away” situation is simple: bring sneakers! Every place you go will have some combination of roads, sidewalks, sand or grass. These items are great for both walking and running, and can even be utilized for activities like lunges, squats, push-ups, stretching and more. Fancy, right? Hotels gyms may be small or large, but most are at minimum, stocked with a decent treadmill. Treadmills are the perfect answer to any concerns about jogging in strange neighborhoods or in inclement weather.

If all of those options fail you, jumping up and down in your room only requires one piece of equipment: sneakers! So if you’re committed to pursuing fitness without fail and make a habit of spending time out of town, always pack your kicks.
