What you'll learn from this episode:
Food is more than fuel—how to break free from the guilt-shame cycle of overindulgence and truly be present to enjoy your holiday celebrations.
How to introduce novelty into your fitness routine to maintain gains when you are away from your gym—some great options include mobility work, plyometrics, and isometric exercises.
Having a group physical activity built into your holiday rituals is a great way to support family bonding while also helping to balance out some of the traditional foods that tend to be higher in calories and sugar. Walking is a great inclusive activity that most people can participate in regardless of fitness level.
Ways to keep overeating at bay—simply slowing down and talking with others about the meal can keep you from consuming too many calories. Another great tip is to wait 15 minutes before having seconds.
How shifting your language from, “I can’t have that,” to “I don’t want any,” allows you to take control and only say yes when you truly want to.
And so much more!
