Stay active, and remember that moderation is key. Additionally, make sure to get enough sleep, practice stress-reducing activities, and focus on making healthy choices most of the time."

Nawaz Shaikh, Wellness Expert & Founder of FITX Transformation, has shared some iconic tips on how to make fitness a priority during the holidays:

a. Make a plan. Decide what days and time frames will work out for you, and stick to that schedule as much as possible. If you know you do not have time for a workout. Try to at least fit in a quick walk or run.

b. Do not let holiday parties delay or loosen your diet. Indulge, but in moderation, and try to eat plenty of healthy foods.

c. Avoid stress eating. The holidays can be stressful with all the planning and parties, but try not to use food as a way to cope. Find other outlets for stress relief, such as exercise, reading, or spending time with loved ones.

d. Get moving. Even if you are not working out, there are still ways to get active during the holidays. Take a brisk walk around the neighborhood, or go dancing with friends, or play some festive game like charades.
