The Wedding Trainer: Tip of The Month

The holiday season is here! The average American gains 10-15lbs. during this time of year (Nov-Jan). How are you going to prevent yourself from becoming part of this statistic? Come up with a plan and start implementing it now! For example, add an extra day or two of workouts to your week or do extra cardio for the next few months. You can also journal your food, writing down what you ate and the amount of calories it contained, this can help you become aware of exactly how much you are consuming. Before attending a holiday party, eat a health conscious meal so that when you arrive you can skip over the appetizers and just mingle with your friends. If you choose to partake in having appetizers or food at a holiday party, only make one trip to the appetizer table and just remember to use portion control!
