Fitness Mastermind Offers Five Tips to Get in Shape for the Holidays

Oct. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- ROUND ROCK, Texas – It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. With Thanksgiving, the official start to the holiday season, just weeks away, it’s now time to get fit for the important season with loved ones.

“Don’t fear,” said Fitness Mastermind Owner Robby Wilson. “There’s still plenty of time to get fit and looking good for holiday time with the family.”

Fitness Mastermind can get you in better shape for the holidays with group classes including Stroller Fit Camp, Elevation Boot Camp and free Indoor Bootcamp to get you started on Saturday mornings.

Follow these simple holiday diet tips and tricks and you will avoid the holiday weight gain that afflicts so many other people:

1.   Drink Water - and Lots of It: Boring I know, but the reason this tip stays around year after year is because it works. Adequate water intake keeps your metabolism humming along at a maximum rate and holds off hunger cravings as well.

2.   Increase Your Exercise A Little Bit Every Day: Everyone deserves to indulge in holiday treats. You only have one life to live, so why not enjoy it? Part of the fun of the holiday season is the amazing treats that are only around at Christmas and Thanksgiving. Accept the fact that you're going to indulge a bit - and then enjoy it! But make sure you make up for it elsewhere by increasing your exercise.

3.   Use the “Credit-Plate” System: Just like how a credit card works, a little trick I like to call the “Credit-Plate” system is the easiest yet most efficient way to ensure you can indulge and enjoy your favorite Holiday treats. Keeping a small nutrition log and recording your indulgences not only gives you an idea of when it is time to “cut yourself off,” but also helps you determine to what extent you need to increase your activity level on your next workout in order to cover to amount of extra “goodies” consumed.

4.   Eat What You Like - But Only A Few Bites: If you absolutely cannot imagine giving up any of your favorite treats this holiday season, give yourself permission to have a bite of everything - but only a bite!

5.   Start New Family Food Traditions: Give your traditional family recipes a makeover! While we understand that Aunt Beverly’s pumpkin pie is a long-established tradition in your family, perhaps you can reduce the amount of sugar or fat in a treasured family recipe without compromising taste. Do a test-run first, and don’t be afraid to experiment. By changing the high fat and sugar content of your traditional Holiday foods without compromising the integrity of these time-honored traditions, you are not only making a healthy step for yourself, but have also now become the person in your family that takes the first step towards ensuring your family tree will enjoy the same tasty treats for many years to come, without sacrificing their waistline in exchange.

Did you know that the average number of calories consumed by one person during a typical Thanksgiving dinner alone is 7,100! That's about two pounds strictly in terms of calories alone. The average North American gains 7 to 12 pounds over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. But it doesn't have to be that way.

“We have a number of classes and personal training programs available for every schedule and level,” Wilson said. “The important part is really to get started on your plan.”
