Your Holiday survival guide:

The fitness edition

The holiday season is filled with joy, celebration, and yes, indulgence. But staying on track with your health and fitness goals doesn’t have to feel impossible! With a little planning and the right mindset, you can enjoy the season while staying on top of your fitness game. Here’s your ultimate holiday survival guide

1. Plan Ahead with Purpose


  • Set Realistic Goals: Instead of aiming for drastic weight loss, focus on maintenance or simply staying active.

  • Schedule Workouts: Treat your fitness routine as a non-negotiable appointment. Morning workouts can help start your day strong before holiday festivities begin.

2. Embrace the “Move More” Mindset


  • Incorporate movement into holiday traditions—think ice skating, a family hike or jog, even a dance party!

  • Use small windows of time for bodyweight exercises, like squats or push-ups, to keep energy levels up.

3. Navigate Holiday Feasts with Confidence


  • Portion Control: Enjoy your favorite dishes, but in moderation. Fill half your plate with veggies for balance.

  • Hydrate: Drinking water throughout the day helps manage hunger and keeps you feeling great.


  • Pro Tip: Your trainer's favorite tip - drink a shake on the way to your holiday parties. This way you fill up with a healthy shake. Try Organicland Protein here



4. Prioritize Rest and Recovery


  • Adequate sleep is critical for muscle recovery and overall energy. Stick to a sleep routine as much as possible. Consider incorporating stress-relief practices like yoga. Join us for yoga at Brickz every Wednesday @7pm

5. Stay Accountable


  • Join a fitness challenge, like a 12 Days of Fitmas program, to keep yourself motivated. Stay Tuned this Arrives at Brickz December 13th! Participate with us for a chance to WIN Prizes!

  • Share your progress and goals with friends or on social media to build accountability and support.

6. Indulge Mindfully


  • Enjoy the occasional treat guilt-free, but keep an eye on your overall intake.

  • Pair treats with protein or fiber-rich foods to stabilize blood sugar and avoid energy crashes.

7. Use the New Year as Motivation


Think of the holiday season as a springboard for starting the new year strong.


Staying active now means hitting January goals with momentum instead of starting from scratch.


With these tips, you’ll be able to celebrate the season, indulge responsibly, and keep crushing your fitness goals.


Remember, it’s all about balance—enjoying the holidays while keeping your health and happiness in focus.


Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄💪
