Here is some great advice on how to stay healthy and active during the holidays and to keep unwanted pounds from creeping up on you from Page Grossman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The holidays are traditionally a time of indulgence \u2014 endless get-togethers with friends and family, packed schedules, and plenty of holiday cookies and cocktails to savor.<\/p>\n

With so much going on, it\u2019s easy to overdo it (and to let self-care slip through the cracks).<\/p>\n

With these simple tips, you\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0have active and healthy holidays!<\/p>\n

\"father<\/p>\n

1. Eat Breakfast<\/h2>\n

If you have a big holiday dinner planned, you might be tempted to skip breakfast to save stomach space for all your favorite traditional treats.<\/p>\n

But you\u2019re likely to feel famished by the time dinner rolls around and end up overindulging because you\u2019re so hungry.<\/p>\n

Eat a\u00a0balanced breakfast\u00a0in the morning \u2014 and a\u00a0healthy lunch, too, if you\u2019re not celebrating until dinnertime \u2014 so you\u2019ll be better equipped to manage your portions at the main event.<\/p>\n

2. Look for Healthier Alternatives<\/h2>\n

Can\u2019t imagine the holidays without pumpkin pie or chocolate cookies?<\/p>\n

Look for\u00a0healthy alternatives to your favorite traditional recipes, suggests\u00a0Adrien Paczosa<\/a><\/strong>, RD, LD, CEDRD-S. BODi has great recipes in the 4 Week Gut Protoco<\/a>l<\/strong>, 2B Mindset<\/a><\/strong>, and Portion Fix<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. Plan Your Workouts Ahead of Time<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhen you already have it planned, you\u2019re not scrambling to find the workout,\u201d says\u00a0Ryan Parzick<\/a><\/strong>, CPT with NASM.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re visiting family over the holidays, you may find yourself with minimal space and no equipment \u2014 but you can still do\u00a0bodyweight exercises\u00a0like push-ups, squats, and planks, Parzick says.<\/p>\n

You can also sign up for\u00a0streaming fitness workouts<\/a><\/strong>, which can be added to your calendar ahead of time.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t get sucked into the all-or-nothing mentality.<\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re used to doing hour-long workouts, but you only have 20 minutes to spare while you wait for a casserole to heat up.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let that stop you \u2014 any workout is better than no workout!<\/p>\n

\"Woman<\/p>\n

4. Create Accountability<\/h2>\n

If you know you have a tendency to skip workouts, create some accountability. Schedule your workout into your calendar as an unmovable appointment.<\/p>\n

5. Savor Your Favorites<\/h2>\n

At holiday celebrations, give yourself some wiggle room to enjoy your favorite foods so you don\u2019t feel deprived.<\/p>\n

Just\u00a0focus on balance\u00a0as you\u2019re loading up your plate.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave lots of different colors and vegetables, have some whole grains and protein sources, and just make sure to have all the puzzle pieces on the plate,\u201d Paczosa says.<\/p>\n

\"Plate<\/p>\n

6. Be Picky About Your Seconds<\/h2>\n

Before you reach for seconds, Paczosa says, check in with your hunger and fullness levels first: \u201cGive yourself some time to connect with people, chat, and check-in with yourself: \u2018Am I hungry, or am I satisfied?’\u201d<\/p>\n

And remember, skipping seconds today means you\u2019ll have\u00a0leftovers\u00a0to enjoy tomorrow.<\/p>\n

7. Stay Hydrated<\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re cooking over a hot stove, power-shopping for presents, or sipping wine in front of the fireplace, it can be easy to forget about hydration over the holidays.<\/p>\n

Make sure to drink water throughout the day, before a big meal, and between each alcoholic beverage.<\/p>\n

8. Get Active With Your Family<\/h2>\n

\u201cAround the holidays, it\u2019s time to play,\u201d Parzick says. \u201cFind a field, kick the ball around, throw a football, just move.\u201d Spending time outside is a great way to stay active and interact with others, while also following social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n

After the big meal and when the dishes are taken to the kitchen, consider a family walk around the neighborhood if the weather is still nice.<\/p>\n

Or consider a family physical fitness challenge for some friendly competition (or at least a few laughs!).<\/p>\n

See who can do the most push-ups, the longest wall sit, or the longest plank.<\/p>\n

9. Keep it in Perspective<\/h2>\n

A healthy lifestyle is all about the long game. You\u2019re not going to ruin your long-term goals if you end up eating too much at a family dinner or watching football on the couch instead of playing a pick-up game outside.<\/p>\n

Consider it a rest day, and get back into your usual routine tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might even feel stronger after a break,\u201d Parzick says.<\/p>\n

10. Focus on Connecting<\/h2>\n

One of the joys of holidays is spending time with those we love. \u201cWhether you\u2019re eating with people or getting together over Zoom, be mindful of the power of social connection,\u201d Paczosa says.<\/p>\n

So whatever your plans are this year, focus on the mental health benefits of sharing that connection \u2014 because that\u2019s what the season is all about.<\/p>\n
