Fitness Tips from Douglasville Personal Trainer, Dave Hansey — Stay fit over the holidays

Staying in shape and losing weight are not mere things that you do from time to time. In order to achieve fitness and permanent weight loss, these pursuits should be lifestyle changes. So I realize that the time crunch and the feeding frenzy of the holidays can place extra pressure on you to keep it up.

Don’t drop your fitness routine and your healthy eating habits because of the holidays. Fitness and good healthy living is not something that you turn on and off.

Try modifying your routine in order to fit it into your time constraints. And hey, you could always try working out a bit harder. Maybe add some intervals to cut back on your time or in order to burn up some more calories.

As far as your eating goes, it can be obvious what to eat sometimes and sometimes not. Finger food such as celery, crudites, endive, chicken satays — those are all usually low in fat and good choices. But other party foods can be a diet nightmare. Pecan pie will set you back DAYS of working out. A small piece of pumpkin pie is forgivable at less than 300 calories. Get where I am going here?? Preplan your eating when you go to a party and respect your body enough to put good food into it.

I wish you the happiest, healthiest Christmas!!!!

Dave
