The holidays can be tough when it comes to staying healthy. Between family dinners, get-togethers, and endless trays of sweets, it’s easy to overdo it — and honestly, I’ve been there too. The good news is, you don’t have to skip the fun to stay on track. A few small habits can make a big difference.
As an in-home and online personal trainer in Ottawa, I work with clients across Kanata, Stittsville, Nepean, Westboro, Hintonburg, Vanier, The Glebe, and Downtown Ottawa, helping them stay consistent, active, and healthy — even during the busiest times of year.
1. Keep Moving — Even in Small Ways
A quick workout can offset extra holiday eating. Short, simple routines can be done right at home — bodyweight circuits, resistance band work, or even a 20-minute full-body session before the day gets busy. For residents in Kanata, Nepean, Hintonburg, and other Ottawa neighbourhoods, in-home workouts are especially convenient during the cold winter months.
2. Don’t Skip Meals to “Save Calories”
Skipping meals usually backfires. By dinner, hunger takes over. Eating balanced meals throughout the day — like a protein-rich breakfast and fiber-filled lunch — helps control cravings and keeps energy steady, making it easier to enjoy holiday meals without overindulging.
3. Focus on Awareness, Not Guilt
If a big meal or a few extra desserts happen, that’s okay. One evening doesn’t erase progress. Hydrate, get a good night’s sleep, and get back into a rhythm the next day. Awareness builds momentum while guilt only drains motivation.
4. Make Fitness Easy to Access
The holidays are busy enough without gym commutes. That’s why in-home and online training with Green Wave Fitness is so effective — it saves time and makes consistency easier. Whether in Stittsville, Westboro, The Glebe, Vanier, or Downtown Ottawa, having training set up at home removes one more barrier to staying active.
5. Build a Balanced Mindset
The holidays should be enjoyed, not feared. When fitness becomes part of your lifestyle, indulgence doesn’t have to come with regret. It’s about balance — moving often, eating mindfully, and staying consistent long-term.
