How to Stay Fit this Holiday Season

While there is nothing wrong with splurging a little around the holidays, you probably don’t want to spend all of January working off your Christmas dinner. The number one rule to follow this holiday season is moderation. Have a cookie, a slice of pie, a glass of wine, and a rich dinner… but maybe not all in the same sitting.

If you are going to a dinner where you know the food may not be the healthiest, don’t go hungry! Have a healthy snack before you go so you don’t dive head first into the chips and dip the moment you walk through the door. Keep in mind that at many holiday parties there is a lot of mingling before dinner is served, so pick something that will keep you full. My go to is a small protein shake and a few almonds.

As always, stay active! If you will be staying around the Vermont area this holiday season, take advantage of the special holiday schedule we are offering at Fit2Excel. If you will be traveling, search online for workout videos to get your heart pumping or brave the cold and go outside for a run!

Eben Pratt joins Fit2Excel as Functional Strength & Movement Specialist

Functional Strength classes are now being offered Wednesdays at 6:30pm!

Functional movement refers to the body’s natural biomechanics. If you look at the body as a machine, we have a complex system of levers that are designed to be coordinated and move in a predetermined way. Unlike machines, when things become out of balance, or broken, we cant swap out parts or buy a new one. The human body’s ability to find away to get the job done is one of the most beautiful and potentially dangerous things. Deviation from the “normal” or “correct” movement, is knows as compensation. This can be caused by anything from injury, poor posture, or simply spending too much time sitting. We lose mobility, stability, and strength when we do not practice good movement.

We use a well established and certified Movement Screen and systematic method of administering movement correctives to ensure we find and strengthen good movement patterns that will improve bone, muscle, and joint health, decrease risk of injury, and increase our body’s longevity.

Eben is also available for private sessions.
