How to Stay in Shape Over the Holidays

Most Americans want to stay in shape during the holidays, but often do not understand how. This paper presents a plan to help achieve this goal.

Start by taking a look at your lifestyle and eating habits, and make general decisions about what you do. There are two main factors to consider in their approach, nutrition and exercise, but there are many questions you need to ask yourself in order to formulate a basic strategy:

Are you satisfied with your current weight or trying to lose weight? Exercise regularly or are sedentary? How long and how deep are your workouts?

You need to build a plan without much instantaneous shock to your system, and you need to consider the season of increased calories will. I advise you to try to eat a moderate diet and increase your exercise program to fight against additional holiday food you can eat. If you do not think you have time to increase your workouts, you can choose to reduce your calorie intake or increase the intensity of your exercise routine. If time permits, I would certainly increase your cardio workouts during this time of year.

If you do cardio for 1 hour, 5-6 times a week, adding light weights with high representatives three times a week, then you should be able to get through the holidays without weight gain, unless you are eat chocolate and chips every day! But if you have not been exercising at all, then down to do cardio 3-4 times a week, and weights twice a week.

If you are an athlete or former athlete and make a sports training or intense activity, such as plyometrics, then mix them into your routine instead of cardio will actually burn more calories. With sprints and plyometrics, 5: 1 ratio remains working is ideal for training. This may sound too easy, but it takes time to go all out. The human body is not designed to keep the maximum intensity for long.

I recommend weighing yourself every day in the morning to take responsibility, and also to know where you are in relation to its objectives. If you weigh yourself every day, then you know what works and what does not, and how certain foods and exercise programs affect your weight. Remember, no matter how much training, if you eat more calories than you burn, then you probably will gain weight. All calories are not equal, so try to limit saturated fats, trans fats, carbohydrates and sugars. Do your best not to eat one of these after 19:00 to burn maximum fat throughout sleep.

Remember that after the holidays are over, your New Year's resolutions is not necessarily to lose weight and get in shape because it will be well on your way!
