Keeping Fit During the Holidays

Halloween can be a scary time of year, and not just because ghouls and goblins are lurking in the night. Dark temptations are all too common as Halloween treats start beckoning.
These bite-sized monsters are all too easy to indulge. Throw back a mini-Snickers then a Milky Way, then a Butterfinger, and suddenly the office candy dish is empty.

Beware of the candy. Most of these treats offer no nutritional value. Their contents can be summed up as sugar, sugar and more sugar - the kind that kicks you into gear for a short while then leads you right into a crash.

This Halloween, help your clients keep a clam head. Remind them that one or two small servings a day of treats will hit the spot without overdoing it. If they must have candy, include it as part of a larger meal. and never as the meal itself. Advise clients to eat something healthy before indulging in a treat.

Hungry? Before reaching for that huge bowel of candy corn, grab a salad or down a healthy yogurt smoothie. If you still have a little space left, grab a couple of candies. Hopefully you'll be full enough that your mind - not your stomach - will be in control.

Halloween, and the holidays and general, are challenging to anyone looking to keep fit and trim. Make sure your clients are aware of the hazards of over eating and skipping workouts. Remind them of their fitness goals. If they don't have any, help them develop a fitness plan. Make sure these goals are realistic and are broken down into steps that they can readily accomplish.
