The festive season is a time to have fun, celebrate with family, party, drink and eat eat eat! We all indulge and that’s totally fine – we deserve it! But it’s sometimes hard to get back to routine and eat healthy again. You’re not alone here – we want to help YOU to prioritise your health after the holidays. Let Cynergi Health and Fitness Club help you get back on track after Christmas with your fitness and healthy eating goals.
1. Start With a Plan
Jumping straight back into your healthy lifestyle can feel overwhelming, but there’s small things you can do to make it easier for you. First of all, set realistic goals like exercising a few times a week and preparing home-cooked meals. Keep track of your progress and take it easy. It’s going to be a rough restart, so don’t focus on perfection, but instead, consistency!
2. Drink Lots of Water
Parties and clubs mean that you’re more likely to drink alcohol and sugary foods which means that your body is going to want more water than usual – so drink lots of water! Staying hydrated cleanses your body while avoiding unnecessary cravings. And if you add a slice of lemon or some mint leaves for extra flavour, these add detox benefits!
3. Ease Into Exercise
Mindset is everything – take it easy! After a short holiday break away from the gym and eating lots, make sure to stop by Cynergi with low-impact exercises like yoga or swimming. Your body needs to readjust back to routine so let your body ease back into your regular workout routine.
4. Balance Your Eating!
After eating so much during the holidays, January is the perfect time to get on track with a balanced diet. Fill your plate with nutrient-dense foods like lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Avoid completely restricting yourself from something because this can lead to burnout. Instead, balance is everything! Focus on mindful eating!
5. Try a Group Class
But what’s the hardest after the holiday season is finding the motivation – RESTARTING! So, one of the things you can do to enjoy getting back at the gym, you might want to join a group fitness class that can make you feel encouraged. Try out Zumba or a spin class – it can be so much fun!
6. Don’t Forget to Rest
And after putting yourself out there, hitting the gym, and putting your all-best, it’s important to rest! The best way to rest is to get quality sleep. We suggest 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night to avoid burnout and help your long-term fitness goals!
We understand that it’s hard to get back on track after Christmas and New Year’s but we hope that at Cynergi, you find the comfort to start again and feel supported.
All you need is determination, consistency, and the right support from Cynergi Health and Fitness Club – we know you can achieve your health and fitness goals in the new year. Let’s make 2024 your healthiest year yet!
