How To Stay Off Of Your Trainer’s Naughty List

Naughty or Nice

The holidays are here. This is a busy time of year where it can be easy to let your fitness goals slip away. Don’t let this happen though! Here are three tips to staying off of your trainer’s naughty list and on track with your fitness goals this Holiday season.

Keep Coming to Sessions on a Regular Basis

We all know that time is limited during the holidays. You have family in town, you have gifts to buy, and it can be difficult to find time to workout. Make your training sessions a priority. You can sit down with your trainer and plan out your day to be able to fit in everything that you do. They can help you find one hour for a workout somewhere, even if it’s outside of your normal time. This is not the time to take a break. Do it for you.

Make Sure That Your Food Log is Complete and Accurate

Work parties, school parties, family parties… Oh My! That one piece of chocolate that you grabbed out of the bowl, is it in your log? What about the one slice of apple with caramel that you ate? It ALL still counts. If you eat it, it needs to go in your log. Two little Hershey’s Kisses are almost 50 calories. If you have an extra 50 calories a day, you will gain 5 pounds a year. It may not seem like much but it all adds up and needs to be in your log.

Discuss Any Issues With Your Trainer

Are there any issues that you foresee popping up? In the past, have you struggled with staying motivated during the holidays? These are all issues that you should discuss with your trainer. Honesty is key in the trainer/ trainee relationship. This is important because your trainer is there to help you. The only way that they can help you stay on track when it gets harder, is if you are communicating these struggles to them. Don’t worry about being judged or think that it’s too small of an issue and that you should be able to handle it on your own. Let your trainer help you.

Now You Know

To stay on track this holiday season, make sure to attend your regularly scheduled sessions, make sure that you keep logging your food, and that you are open and honest with your trainer. This is the key to success. Talk to a trainer today to learn how to get started.
