๐ฃPSA: Staying up late, eating too much sugar, and skipping your workouts will NOT feel good!
Iโm not saying you shouldnโt enjoy some treats and have some fun, but a whole month of festivities can leave you feelingโฆ not very festive.
Here are 8 Reasons NOT to Slack This Month ๐
1. You could lose ground. Taking an extended break from your regular routine can mean losing some of your hard-won progress.
2. Staying healthy. Regular workouts and a healthy diet help boost your immune system โ super important this time of year!
3. More stress. Being active helps lift your mood, lower your stress level, and battle anxiety.
4. Bad nights of sleep. When youโre not as active and/or overdoing it with food and beverages, it can put a damper on how much sleep you get โ as well as your sleep quality.
5. Less energy. When you eat a nutritious diet and stay active, it raises your energy level.
6. Blood sugar swings. Eating sugary holiday treats can send your blood sugar up, giving you a quick boost of energy followed by a crash. Exercise helps regulate this.
7. Tummy Troubles. Overeating โ or eating rich food โ can be hard on your digestive system. Exercise can help boost your digestion.
8. Youโll lose momentum. Once you break a routine, it can be hard to get back into it. A better bet: if you canโt stick with your full routine, do a mini version of it so you stay in the habit.
Staying committed to health and fitness during December may require some effort, but itโs SO WORTH IT. ๐ฏ
