Hot Tubs Muskego, WI – Spa Dealer Shares Tips to Stay Fit During the Holidays

MILWAUKEE - Dec. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- “According to a study by Tufts University, people gain five or more pounds over the holiday season. While that may not seem like a lot, it can be a real disaster when so much work has gone into losing a few pounds,” said Michael Wolf, owner of Wolf Pools and Spas.

“The study also showed that those gaining the most weight were already overweight, and the resulting depression from regaining lost weight also makes it difficult to continue a healthy weight loss plan,” continued Wolf.  To help prepare for the festivities of the holiday weeks, here are three top holiday fitness tips to stave off those extra pounds.

Be Prepared For Big Meals - Planning ahead of time goes a long way in beating the mealtime frenzy that can accompany holiday feasts. When there is going to be a large gathering accompanied by snacks and/or a large dinner, the first rule is to eat before leaving the house. If the gathering is at home, it is okay to eat a good portion of healthy foods before guests arrive in order to be less tempted by the meal. Better yet, serve the guests coming to the house healthy holiday foods. Make sure there are plenty of fresh vegetables out on snack trays, offer up large portions of lean proteins and vegetables at dinner, and save everyone the heartache of having to deal with added pounds from the holidays.

The second way to avoid the heavy holiday food choices is to go into a big meal with a plan. This is especially important when the festivities are taking place at someone else’s home. Know the food will be tempting, and plan to allow small portions of especially desired foods, and to avoid those that will completely destroy any diet plan. A few extra calories won’t completely derail a good, healthy lifestyle, so it isn’t necessary to totally deprive ourselves when enjoying the holidays. Just control what it is that is consumed, and enjoy small portions.

Continue Daily Exercise Plans - Don’t let plans for regular exercise slip during the holidays. Even the hectic shopping and time needed to prepare for parties still leaves time for exercise. If necessary, get up a little early and workout. When eating those extra calories during the big meals, make sure to add a little extra workout time during the week to burn them off.

Manage Stress Levels - Stress is hard on the body. Stress is especially hard on those trying to lose weight or keep pounds off. According to the Mayo Clinic, stress not only causes people to overeat, it also increases overall weight gain. A great way to alleviate the stress of the holiday season is to find a warm, soothing hot tub to soak in for several minutes a day. Having a hot tub installed in the home is a great holiday present for the entire family, and provides the opportunity to relax and get rid of stress all year round without the hassle or expense of going to a health club.
