Take a Pass on the Holiday Pounds


For many of us Halloween starts a 63 day parade of parties, candy, food and drink, but you can take a pass on the holiday pounds this year. Operation Boot Camp is helping keep Atlanta focused on fitness this holiday season with its holiday camps and free preview workout sessions.
"With a little planning and dedication it is possible to successfully battle the holiday bulge and start off the New Year already focused on their health and wellness," said Lauren Lorenzo, vice president of training and development Operation Boot Camp North America. " It is balancing the splurge factor with the health factor and at the end of the day feeling good about your choices. Our holiday camps and our free preview workouts help keep fitness front and center so that you can enjoy the holidays and stay on track with your health and fitness."
Operation Boot Camp offers holiday camps and free Saturday preview workouts at locations throughout metro-Atlanta. The best part of the preview sessions is there is nothing to lose but calories. Operation Boot Camp’s preview workouts are offered each Saturday at various locations. Attending these workouts is the best way to experience first-hand Atlanta's Best boot camp.
To find a preview workout or holiday camp visit www.operationbootcamp.com. The “Try Us” area includes details on all of the preview workouts and the “Locations” tab provides directions and information about where and when the session will be held. For the preview workout, campers should arrive 15 minutes before the workout start time dressed ready for a fun and life change experience.
Operation Boot Camps Healthy and Fit Holiday Tips
With any event or dinner it is always better to avoid over eating, eating bad stuff and hating yourself in the morning:
  1. Try not to go to a party hungry
  2. If you drink alcohol balance it with water and try not to over eat while you are drinking! Eating protein while drinking may also slow the effects of the alcohol. (ie., getting drunk)
  3. Look for healthy choices at events – lean protein, whole grains, raw vegetables, fruit for dessert and try to stay away from processed foods.
  4. Do your ‘holiday homework’ and take care of your body. If you cannot commit to a workout schedule during the week do it on the weekends!
  5. If you are traveling, take a resistance band, a pair of sneakers and some workout clothes and then actually workout! Even if it is short 15-20 minute exercise bout, it is better than not moving at all!
  6. Take a brisk walk after a big meal. It can help you keep those unwanted pounds off. Moving after eating actually helps burn those calories.
