If you’ve made it through the festive season without putting weight on, you don’t want to undo your hard work by going crazy at New Year parties instead. Any extra pounds you put on at this time of year can be very difficult to shift and could take months to lose. 

If that doesn’t align with your New Years goals, then taking some steps to make sure that you don’t put on weight in the first place will be helpful.

The combination of colder weather and plenty of comfort food can mean that your health and fitness goals are sidelined over the holiday season.

It’s a magical time of year, but it also tends to be very unhealthy too. 

A lot of us feel lethargic and sluggish after overindulging over the holidays. Add in the fact that fitness can go on the back burner at this time of year, and you've got a recipe for feeling unhealthy and gaining some extra pounds.

Lots of people find that they put weight on too, which can be hard to shift come January. If you want to avoid this scenario, you’ll need to be a bit more diligent over the festive period and take a few extra steps to be active and eat well. 

So let’s talk about how you can enjoy a healthier holiday season this year and still keep things fun.
