THIS MONTH, LICHFIELD’SFAVOURITE PERSONAL TRAINER RAÚL ROMERO SHARES HIS 14 TOPS TIPS TO HELP MAINTAINYOUR WEIGHT THIS CHRISTMAS, YET STILL ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT!A 5,000 calorie intake on Christmas Day? I can’trecall whether I dreamt it, or read somewherethat this is the average calorie intake per person inthe UK on Christmas Day. Yes, I agree, it really isbonkers!I am all for enjoying the festive season and theholidays to the fullest and making the most of thespecial seasonal culinary offerings that are availablethis time of year, yet at the same time, why can’t thisgo hand-in-hand with a semblance of balance? Well,the great news is, it can!As the magic and joy of the festive season isbestowed upon us, there are so many treats andtemptations on offer, from the plethora of ‘Christmasdos’, the huge range of seasonal supermarket fancies,and the delicious selection boxes, to the never-endingoffice chocolate tubs and biscuits. With such a hecticmonth of Christmas parties, meals, shopping spreesand preparations, it’s only natural that in order to fitin all of this festive fun, something else in the usualalready busy weekly schedule, has to give. Yes, youguessed it, this is quite often fitness, be it exerciseclasses, fitness sessions or personal training sessions.So, how can we strike that semblance of balance thatour bodies are yearning for, yet at the same time, stillenjoy the magic and joy of everything this time ofyear brings?Here are my top 14 practical, realistic and achievabletips to help you have a blast this season, yet still notlose sight of your health and fitness and maintainyour shape/weight, or even, dare I say it, lose somepounds (why not?!).1. Be selective. You may receive invites galore ofChristmas parties and meals from lots of differentgroups of friends, colleagues and family. I’d evengo as far as saying… be selfish! Why not attendonly those that you really fancy? Don’t feel obligedto attend every meal or party if it isn’t your heart’sdesire.2. Balance you daily eating. This is as simpleas balancing a big overindulged meal during theBE SELECTIVE WITHYOUR CHRISTMASTREATS, SAYS RAULday, with a much lighter, healthier next meal withreduced calories. The most important thing here is tolisten to your body.3. Keep your fitness commitments. Don’tbreak great routines you have worked so hard tobuild of daily or weekly fitness sessions, just becauseof Christmas. Prioritising is key here; if time really isscarce, instead of cancelling your work out sessions,keep them shorter yet intense (HIIT-style workoutsare great for this).4. WALK MORE! Christmas shopping is a greatexcuse to increase your steps and rack them up onyour tracker. Maybe catch the train or walk aroundthe retail parks instead of driving.5. Sign up for a running race.
