Tips To Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

As the holidays approach, a feeling of fear creeps in. Your wallet isn't the only thing getting tighter-your pants are too.. It's the same old story. Colder weather keeps you trapped at home, while the yummy holiday cooking fattens you up. Not this year! I refuse to gain those holiday pounds and you are able to, too. No, you do not need to sign any contracts at an expensive club. It's possible to get a good physique without a big outlay of money.

You may possibly not realize it, but workout videos are more fun and stimulating than they were in the past.

Workout videos are also much less expensive than a club membership or investing in home workout equipment like a treadmill or elliptical trainer.

If the thought of purchasing exercise videos reminds you of leg warmers and striped leotards, you've got some catching up to do. You're not stuck with the dull exercise videos of the 80s and 90s anymore. Believe it or not, the same sought-after fitness trainers who get paid the big bucks to instruct celebrities can be on call to teach you in your own home for just pennies a day.

Some of the newest fitness trends are available on video.

Ballet:

Have you always wanted a ballet dancer's lean and graceful body? Quite a few ballet videos are now available as workout videos. One of the most popular choices right at this moment was created by the famous New York City Ballet. Although you won't be trained to become the next prima ballerina training with this exercise video at home, you will shape and lengthen your physique for a graceful body.

Belly Dancing:

Shimmy your way to a great waistline. Whether you would like an instructional video to instruct on proper belly dancing technique or you just like to work out with belly dance moves, you can find a wide variety of videos available.

Exotic Dancing:

You read that correctly. If you have ever thought it would be fun to learn sexy moves, then this style of exercise is for you. In the privacy and safety of your own home, you will be able to bounce and gyrate to your heart's content. I have also heard that laughter is good for your stomach muscles, so you'll have that covered as well, especially if you have a mirror in your exercise room.

Yoga or Pilates:

If you are looking for a sleek, lean body, firm core, or additional flexibility, then there are vast amounts of yoga and Pilates videos to choose from. You'll find yoga for adults as well as yoga videos for kids. Yes, children get stressed, too. Yoga is a great way to teach them to relax.

Exercise videos for kids:

Oftentimes kids can be the best motivation. If you put in a chidren's video, it's hard to say "no" when your two year old asks you to dance with Barney.

Once you've chosen a trend of exercise video that you are interested in, set a specific time each day to "meet" with your individual trainer. It's best to rotate at least two different types of exercise (or videos) to escape repetitive use strains. You can do different videos each day, or alternate a walk, bike ride or other activity you benefit from on your non-video days. As long as you are moving, you're keeping those spare pounds from strongly attaching to your body.
