1. Start with a High-Protein Breakfast: Rev up your day with a high-protein breakfast (read: “5 high protein breakfast for muscle gain”). It’s your secret weapon for muscle recovery, keeping you full, and managing your food intake all day long.

2. Choose a Smaller Plate and Decorate Your Food: Think small – opt for a blue plate and arrange your holiday delights like an artist. This simple trick gives the illusion of a fuller plate, making indulgence feel satisfying without the risk of overdoing it. You can always get a second plate, but don’t overeat just to have an empty plate. 

3. Hydration Strategy: Sip smart! Drink two glasses of water between each festive drink. Staying hydrated is the key to enjoying the holiday spirits without the fitness hangover! 

4. Focus on Eating High Protein: Show your muscles some love! Prioritize high-protein foods during the holidays. Protein is your muscle’s superhero, supporting repair, growth, and recovery. So, dig into those protein-packed goodies!

5. Aim for 10,000 Daily Steps: Let’s keep moving and grooving! Engage in enjoyable activities like forest walks, go to the biggest mall of the Netherlands, walk up Sluishuis, walk through the ‘9 straatjes’, go ice skating, go to the beach,  – all to hit that 10k step goal without it feeling like a workout! At Convoy’s event this will be dancing ofc!! 

6. Prioritize Quality Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for fitness progress as it aids in muscle recovery, repair, and growth during restorative stages. It balances hormones related to appetite and metabolism, preventing overeating and supporting weight management. Adequate sleep boosts energy levels, improving physical performance and endurance during workouts. It reduces stress, aiding in faster recovery, and enhances mental focus and concentration for efficient training sessions. Overall, prioritizing good sleep is integral to optimizing fitness gains, supporting muscle growth, and achieving your fitness goals effectively.

7. Make Sure to Visit Convoy: Surprise, surprise! Swing by not just for a chat, and a coffee but to squeeze in a workout too! Consistency is key, so check out Convoy’s open gym schedule posted on the board. Keeping up with workouts this season ensures we’re not slacking on our fitness journey.

Let’s sleigh this holiday season while staying fabulously fit, pals!

Cheers to a healthy and happy holiday! Team Convoy
