Find a family member or friend to stay accountable
The holiday season can get overwhelming at times where your priority list is never-ending and your personal time can get neglected or you might feel like you could be doing something else. Having another person with your during your training sessions can keep you motivated and stay on track.
Schedule time for physical activity
Your schedule may look jam packed with events, dinners and travel which may seem impossible to find time to be active. Take the time to schedule at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day whether it’s a quick workout, walk or fun family activity such as tobogganing.
Involve family and friends
Finding time for yourself may be a challenge especially if kids are off from school and you have more time off work. Ask your family or friends to join to you for a fun activity where you can keep active while spending time with your loved ones. Check out this blog for The best ways to exercise with family.
Plan ahead
Travelling can add a huge limitation during the holiday season but it is not excuse to avoid physical activity. Prior to your departure, research the area you are travelling to and seek out potentially walking/running routes and gyms/rec centers you can utilize during your time there. Consider investing in some resistance bands that you can easily pack and transport and use in any location.
Find a holiday fun run or event
Many organizations and charity groups are always looking to host fun holiday events such as fun runs. This is an excellent way to ensure you will stay moving and a perfect opportunity to encourage physical activity while spending time with family and friends.
