Fitness Expert Travelle Gaines's Five Tips On Getting Fit And Staying Healthy During The Holidays

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Dec. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Is it possible to get fit and stay healthy during the holidays. Fitness expert Travelle Gaines says a resounding "YES!" Gaines is considered the premiere sports performance trainer in America, having trained over 300 current NFL players including LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, Marshawn Lynch, Ryan Clady, Dashon Goldson, Andrew Luck and several other Pro Bowlers.  Travelle also trains celebrity clients Sean “Diddy” Combs and Kendra Wilkinson. Here are his TOP 5 TIPS on how to stay fit and healthy during the busy holiday season.

1. Stay active, even if it’s not a planned workout: Play a family football game if the weather allows; in snowy areas, sledding down the hill and running back up to the top always provides a great workout; Incorporate small workouts into your daily routine: Instead of taking the bus or train to work, try walking or riding a bike. Walk the stairs instead of taking the elevator.

2. Stay hydrated: It’s important to stay hydrated – drink lots of water, or my favorite BODYARMOR SuperDrink, which provides superior nutrition and hydration and is packed with electrolytes and vitamins and also contains coconut water – and tastes great.

3. Get Your Vitamins: Vitamins and nutrients are critical all year long – but during the holidays we tend to get less sleep, do a lot of mingling and socializing and can be exposed to all of those cold and flu germs out there.  BODYARMOR SuperDrink gives an extra edge over other beverages: 2.5 times the electrolytes of sports drinks; DOUBLE the vitamins of enhanced waters; Plus has antioxidants and is made with 10% coconut water to hydrate.

4. Load Up On Good Foods:  Try to eat a healthy snack or meal before you head to that holiday party so you’re not starving when you arrive…and once there, limit desserts and alcohol, make sure to mix in grilled vegetables, crudité, fruit and hummus, and indulge a little -- everyone deserves a pig in the blanket, just not a dozen.

5. Portion Control: Track your calories daily, use apps such as Myfitness Pal; make sure to not over-eat by eating slowly; replace one outside meal a week with a home-prepared meal; eat single portions, and avoid fatty foods; immediately after cooking the meal, put some away in left over containers. This will help portion control.
