It is that season again – the holidays. One of the major highlights of this period is the amazing food and the many vacations. That means that you are not expected to work out as usual or take a low carb diet. You have many invites for diners, and as a guy, you can never say no to any of them.
An average American man gains over 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year. How will you not gain extra pounds amidst all this temptation? You can stay in shape. Here is a simple explanation on how to achieve that; remember it’s simple and not easy.
Plan
At some point, you might have to leave town. That means that you do not have access to your gym or workout equipment. Therefore, plan on how you can keep up your routine while in the other town. If you are putting up in a hotel, get one that offers gym facilities. When visiting a family member or a friend, ask them to organize a temporary gym membership for you in their town.
Adjust your routine
Between different time zones and variety of activities, your routine might be interrupted. That is why you need to make the adjustments yourself instead of waiting for an inconvenience. If you were used to working on specific days of the week, you might change them as per your schedule.
Exercise self-control
Yes, you have been invited to many parties where amazing food will be served. Now that you have been working on staying fit the entire year, it is not wise to erode all your efforts within a few months. Think about that every moment you feel the urge to take a second helping. You need to say no when necessary. Being selective about what you eat, might seem rude at first, but your loved ones will get used to it.
