How to Stay on Track With Fitness Goals This Holiday Season
The holidays are here—bringing joy, celebration, and yes, lots of delicious food! But if you’re focused on your fitness goals, it doesn’t mean you have to give up your progress or miss out on the fun. At BIA Athletics, we’re here to share some friendly, effective strategies to keep you moving and feeling great through all the festivities. Here’s your guide on how to stay on track with fitness goals this holiday season without feeling deprived.
1. Set Clear, Attainable Goals
The best place to start is by setting clear and manageable goals. Maybe you aim to get to the gym twice a week, or perhaps a long walk a few times a week will keep you feeling on track. The key is choosing goals that feel realistic and energizing—something you’ll be excited to stick with during the holidays. Our trainers at BIA Athletics can help you shape these goals, making sure they fit your lifestyle and the little indulgences that come with the season.
2. Create a Flexible Workout Routine
The holidays can throw your regular schedule for a loop, which is why flexibility is crucial. Work with a trainer at BIA Athletics to create a workout routine that can shift with your plans, allowing for the festive chaos. And don’t stress if things don’t go perfectly—this season is about doing the best you can. A walk through the park or a quick at-home session can keep you moving even on the busiest days. And if you’re local, try a brisk walk or run through one of Orange County’s beautiful parks to stay active and enjoy the season.
3. Embrace Seasonal Activities
This time of year offers unique ways to stay active, so let’s make the most of them! Take part in some seasonal fun, like the holiday lights at Irvine Spectrum Center or a stroll through the Hikari Lights Festival at Tanaka Farms. Staying active doesn’t always mean sticking to the gym—incorporating festive events can add excitement to your routine and keep you in motion.
4. Find a Fitness Buddy
Fitness is more fun with friends, and the holidays are a great time to invite others along. Grab a friend or family member for a group workout or make it a holiday tradition to do something active together, like a hike or a workout at the park. Or, if you’re looking for something a bit more structured, join a semi-private training session at BIA Athletics. Sharing the journey makes the commitment easier and more enjoyable.
5. Monitor Your Progress and Celebrate Milestones
Keeping track of your progress is motivating, and it’s easier than you think. You might want to join a holiday-themed fitness challenge or set small goals for each week. And remember, every small win is worth celebrating! Whether you stick to your routine or try something new, acknowledge each step and use it to fuel your motivation.
6. Seek Professional Guidance
Staying on track with fitness goals is easier when you have support. At BIA Athletics, our trainers are here to keep you motivated and offer tailored guidance that makes fitness a fun, sustainable part of your holiday routine. From adapting your workout plan to keeping you accountable, we’re here to help you navigate the unique challenges the holidays bring.
