Fighting the Holiday Battle of the Bulge

Holiday-FoodThe holiday season is here and with it comes a time of indulging that can lead to some bulging. This happens to come in advance of New Year’s resolutions and wellness expert Sadie Lincoln, founder of barre3, has offered some times on staying fit this holiday season.

One tip is not to skip a long hot bath with some Epsom salt.

“You might spend an hour working out, and that’s great,” Lincoln said, “but what really counts is full body health and how that hour impacts the rest of your day.”

Among Lincoln’s tips:

• Keep four rubber bands on a 12-ounce bottle of water and remove one each time you refill it.
• Eat more foods with fiber, healthy fat and healthy protein, such as almonds, fish oil, avocados and apples with peanut butter. She also advises against sugar late at night or early in the morning. H
• Soak in a warm bath with about 2 cups of Epsom salt three nights a week. The Epsom salt will relax you, soothe your muscles and help you sleep, she said. At times, she’ll also add lavender essential oil.

Fitness expert Jay Cardiello, founder of Jcore, offers some other tips as well:

• Sleep in exercise clothes to help ensure your day starts with a workout.
• Work out in bed when you wake up, because doing pushups or planking on an unstable surface will train your body to fire up quickly.
• Stand on one leg while brushing your teeth or do squats to help build muscles and improve your balance. (Here are his weekly workouts).
• Dance while getting dressed, a way to burn 50 calories and boost your mood.
• Listen to music while working out and smell peppermint beforehand. Both help alter your perception of how hard you’re exercising, making the workout seem a bit easier.
• Keep a journal of your exercise and diet, and share your progress and setbacks with supportive friends.
