subject: Fitting In Those Workouts During Christmas Time [print this page] We all know that Christmas and the Holidays are just around the corner, but that does not mean you have to stop exercising and indulging with all of those tasty treats. We all have to be conscious of what we put in our mouths, especially at all of these festive parties, company gatherings and just going over friends houses for food, drinks and of course, desert. So what is one to do? Well, if you have not tried working with a professional fitness expert, then maybe is the time to find a friend and find a personal trainer Portland Oregon or fitness professional to do some semi private personal training.
When you workout with a partner, it is fun, encouraging and there is an accountability factor that you have now participated in. You know longer have to depend on your trainer to get you in the studio, but now you have a workout partner that is just as motivated as you are to burn those extra calories so you can indulge a little bit during the holiday season.
When the parties have started and the invites are just coming, you always want to stick with foods that you can pick up with a fork. Some of these finger foods have a ton of calories, but if you can monitor the amount of food that you put in your mouth by cutting into pieces and chewing each one them, you will get fuller a lot quicker, but you will enjoy each and every bite.
When you are with your Portland Oregon personal trainer or fitness expert that you have signed up for, let them know when you are going to these parties. They can cater the workouts so you can focus on caloric expenditure and really utilize the time to get as much expenditure as possible. If you are going to multiple parties during the week, then let your workout partner know that you are going to be training at least three times per week during this festive time so we do not gain weight and unwanted inches.
Remember, have a great time, but be consistent with your training at this time of the year and if your workout partner is getting lazy, then get them motivated! That is why having a workout partner when training is so important, you both will hold each other accountable, and the fitness trainer Portland will hold you both to them.
