3 Ways to stay active during the holidays

‍

Even though it’s important to rest and recover properly, we don’t want to completely grind to a halt. The secret to keeping fit during the holidays is to find new and simple ways to stay active!

‍

1. Take advantage of the outdoors
‍

The holidays are the perfect time to rediscover the natural world. Find a park or trail and walk, run, hike, or cycle. It's a tried-and-true way to clear your mind, get moving and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings. 

‍

2. Join a fitness class

‍

A fitness class or outdoor boot camp is a great way to stay accountable. Take a few minutes to research what’s happening in your area, sign up and show up. You may even pickup a few new friends along the way. 

3. Use what you’ve got!

‍

Whether you’re at home or travelling – resistance bands, a TRX or even a jump rope is all you need for a great workout. Speak with your coach for a workout routine that fits your needs, goals and holiday schedule.

‍

Aim for a 1-hour workout, three times per week. This will maintain your fitness levels so you can easily resume your training after the holidays.

‍

The key is to keep your holiday workouts simple and fun. Sweat – but don’t sweat the small stuff!
