FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOCAL BOOT CAMP TRAINER: 6
EASY STEPS TO FIT EXERCISE INTO YOUR HOLIDAY SCHEDULE
(PRINCETON,NJ 11/17-2011) –
With Thanksgiving just a few days away, can Black Friday be far off? You know
what this means: Shopping and other holiday activities will consume so much of
your time, regular exercise will be put on the back burner – or forgotten
altogether.
“During this time of year, our
lives can get very hectic, so workout routines can get disrupted or ignored,”
says, David Knapp owner of Princeton Adventure BootCamps. “It‟s easy to say, „a few weeks without exercise won‟t harm me‟
or „I‟ll catch up after the New Year‟s.‟ However, it
will be more difficult to re-start exercising later, when you might have a few
post-holiday pounds to lose. And, by the way, running from store to store is
NOT exercise!”
Although finding time for
regular workouts may be a challenge during the holidays, there are ways to stay
on track – it‟s all a matter of good planning and motivation
David says.
He suggests these 6 steps to
holiday fitness:
Try a bit of
visualization. “Imagine yourself on January 1 – and beyond – after not
having exercised for several weeks. How much heavier will you be? How much
harder / longer will you have to work out to lose all the weight that piled on
during the holidays? Often, when you think of the consequences of your actions
ahead of time, that will be all the motivation you‟ll need to keep exercising!”
Break your usual exercise
routine into a couple of small sessions throughout the day. “For example,
two or three 10-15-minute workouts may be more manageable than an hour-long
session.”
Exercise in the morning. “It may mean getting up earlier than
usual, but at least you’ll be done for the day. Plus, you’ll be more
energized for all the other activities. Another possibility is to use part of
your lunch hour for a mini-workout; even a short session is better than none.
Choose the right type of
exercise. “Use HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), which is shorter in
duration, but extremely effective at burning fat and keeping you in shape.”
Ban all the “But I don’t
have time” excuses. “Don’t fall into a trap of coming up with reasons why
you can’t work out. Tell yourself right now that exercise is an
important part of your day and keeps you
energized for all the other activities. Another possibility is to use
part of your lunch hour for a mini-workout; even a short session is better than
none.

part of your healthy lifestyle, and that you can and will fit it
into your schedule, no matter how hectic it gets.”
Work out with a buddy or
in a group. “Statistics show that people who exercise with a friend or in a
group are more successful at exercising consistently. Make a pact with friends
to encourage each other should one of you feel like slacking off.”
Following all these points
“will help even the busiest people keep up with their exercise routines,
Dave notes. “When all the
holiday bustle is over, they’ll be glad they did!”
