The Holiday Season’s Fast Track To Fitness
by Amy Thompson, National Director of Personal Training Services, Colorado Athletic Club
There are three key ingredients to keeping the holiday season a time of success in reaching your fitness goals: accountability, consistency and fun. Making sure you have a program in place that incorporates these three pieces will help you steer clear of the holiday weight gain, and also keep you on track into the New Year. That’s a lot better than having to start over.
There are many ways to hold yourself accountable. Set goals with your friends and hold each other to them. Schedule your workouts on your calendar for the visual effect. When you feel like you have an excuse, write it down, put it aside and keep pressing on. And maybe all you need is something new and different to keep it interesting.
Try our Holiday FitExpress program, where you’ll get to work closely with a personal trainer. You’ll meet three times a week for the next three months, which is a perfect way to ensure you’re staying on track with the goals that you set together. It will also hold you accountable to going above and beyond your expectations. Program designs from personal trainers in a small group class setting are evidence-based and guaranteed to get you results.
Consistency is what keeps you moving forward in small steps to see big results. Every class, every week and every month, your consistency in the program will lead to increased confidence that you can do more the next time. And doing more on a regular basis, under a supervised FitExpress program, will increase your conditioning, endurance, strength and mobility, as well as improve your eating habits. The holidays are an ideal time to create awareness around your diet so your indulgence doesn’t lead to binging. Consistency doesn’t mean instant gratification, but it does turn into positive change.
FitExpress is a fun program. We take the concepts of
fitness and come up with a routine so you don’t have to think, you just have to do. While taking that aspect out of the equation, we can team up as a group to have a good time. The creative and energetic workouts truly become a release from stress and a busy holiday, and emphasize enjoying what you are doing while reaching your goals.
We’ve made it easy for you to dedicate yourself to a program and get results during the holidays. FitExpress will hold you accountable, keep you consistent, and drive a lot of great energy into your workouts. Stay fit going into the New Year and keep yourself active and goal oriented.
