COMPETITIVE SPIRIT

Maybe you don’t play

sports, but that doesn’t

mean you don’t have a com-

petitive side. You’d be sur-

prised at your determination

level when you’re just about

ready to skip that last set of

squats only to see your

friend sweating beside with

no sign of giving up. To push

yourself even more, we sug-

gest racing when going for a

run. The winner gets treated

to a post workout snack.

2EXTRA MOTIVATION

The worst is when you

know you “should”

workout, but you just don’t

feel like it. Say goodbye to

those days when you have

a workout buddy! Knowing

you have a friend waiting for

you at the gym or outside

for a run will change your

mindset. It can be so easy

to skip out on your fitness

routine and just stay in bed,

but friends can be a huge

motivator when it comes to

sticking with your workout

regimen.

3MAKE FITNESS FUN

Sometimes working

out can get a bit repet-

itive and dare we say it, a lit-

tle boring. By adding a

friend into the mix, exercis-

ing can be more enjoyable

than being by yourself.

Fitness with a good gal pal

is a great way to catch up

and chit chat, making an

hour long run seem like five

minutes. Time tends to fly by

faster when you have some-

one to talk to.

So grab your bestie and head on

over to the gym!

With the New Year right around the corner, it’stime to start gearing up your fitness routine and

what better way to do so than with a friend?Having a workout partner can mean the difference

between success and failure when it comes to your fitness goals. Here are 3 great reason to

enlist your BFF to help you get moving.

SMOOTHIE OF THE MONTH

Peppermint Twist

Weight Loss

1Eat before you go. With endless

amounts of food and drinks, holiday

parties can be a nightmare for people

trying to stay fit. One of the most important

rules is to make sure you eat beforehand.

Hungry people are more likely to head

straight for first edible thing in sight. If you

have a snack before you go, you’ll be able

to survey the buffet table and make better

and healthier decisions

2Find the greens. Many events will

have platters full of veggies and

salad. You should make your way

over to the green side of the table and load

up your plate with healthy options. That way

you’re less likely to have room on your plate,

or in your stomach, for greasy, fatty and

sugary foods.

3Socialize! The holidays are a time to

spend with family and friends, not

waiting by the kitchen for the next

appetizer to come out. Quit stuffing your

face; mingle with everyone instead of stop-

ping at every food table.

4Carry a glass of water. The alcohol

may be flowing nonstop during the

festivities but these are liquid calories

that can lead to quick weight gain. You

don’t need liquor to have a good time, so

your best bet is to always have a glass of

H20 on hand to keep you from heading to

the bar. But if you must have a drink, try

opting for a wine-spritzer instead of that

fatty eggnog.

5Indulge. Cakes, pies, cookies, oh my!

The dessert table spread is usually

the most anticipated and hazardous

of the night, but don’t be afraid. There is no

harm in indulging a little if you see a freshly

baked cookie tray calling your name. The

key is to always walk away after

you've helped yourself.
