Stay Fit For The Holidays

It’s the holiday season, which means you might be spending a fair amount of time away from the luxury apartments in Fremont, CA, and on the road visiting friends and family. While this means you’ll get to see many of the people closest to you, it also means that you’ll be away from your usual fitness gear and might even have your typical routine disrupted. Before you start to dismay, however, keep in mind that it’s still plenty possible to stay active and in shape while adventuring, and we’ve got a few tips that will put you on the right path.

The Keys To Fitness On The Road

The first thing you’ll need to do is manage your expectations. You’re away from home, which means you might not have access to all the equipment you typically use, and if you’re fond of stuff like the weight room or the elliptical, you might have to settle for a bit less than usual to meet your fitness goals. This doesn’t mean that fitness is impossible, though, and while tempering your expectations, you’ll also want to remember to keep moving.

Being on the road can be tiring, and there might be a temptation to just crash and burn at each and every opportunity. Avoid the lure of the bed or easy chair for just a few moments, though, and try to get in as many walks as you can to keep yourself burning through the calories.

When it comes to those dedicated exercise periods, get creative. You might not have all your weights, but there are plenty of bodyweight exercises you can substitute into your strength training routine — pushups, squats, burpees and more are the cornerstone of no-equipment exercise, and with these (and a few other) moves, you can get an adequate burn to keep your muscles satisfied.

Beyond exercise, you’ll also want to watch your diet while you’re traveling. We know you’ll be in front of a lot of tasty (and not particularly nutritious) food, but try your best to limit your portions of the fattening items, and include healthy options where you can. Carb intake, in particular, is important to monitor, and no matter what kind of diet you’re currently on, drinking plenty of water is a must. Observe these rules, and you’ll find that staying fit while on holiday is a fair bit easier than you ever imagined.
