When the holidays roll around, it’s easy for your fitness habits to take a vacation. With the parties and bountiful spreads of food, the temptation to skip a few days or overindulge is all too enticing.
Thankfully, WundaBar founder, Amy Jordan, has a few tips that will help you stay fit over the holidays. As a Pilates visionary, entrepreneur and inventor, Amy uses her fitness knowledge and desire to share wellness through movement to empower others to “have the best experience in [their skin]”. With that being said, as a student of Pilates since 2006, you can bet Amy has learned a few things about navigating the holiday season.
TIP 1
Make every other drink at a party a bottle of water. It’ll cut your alcohol calories in half, keep you hydrated, and that much more likely not to skip tomorrow’s workout from a hangover!!
TIP 2
Move your body EVERY day! It is not optional. Choose something you enjoy for a “rest” day like a long walk, hike, short swim, dance class – it doesn’t have to be a full hour. Get 5, 10, 20 minutes in, and your body (and mind) will thank you. Got family in town? Make it a group activity!
TIP 3
Relatives asking what they can get you for a holiday gift? Make it something that motivates you to move! A new sports bra? Sneakers? A package of classes to your favorite studio? Make it something you want to use and will support your health during and after the holidays!
TIP 4
Not in the mood to hit the gym? There are many online “On Demand” platforms that allow you the work out from your home!
