Research has suggested that people who pre-plan their meals and workouts will stick to healthy habits longer (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12966-017-0461-7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because decision fatigue is real when staring at a buffet of holiday treats. At the start of the week, take some time to map out your meals and workouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning doesn\u2019t mean being rigid &#8211; it just helps you create a framework.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have a big family dinner coming up? Work in a lighter breakfast and\/or lunch that day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you hitting a holiday party later? You can sneak in a brisk morning walk or a quick HIIT session beforehand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of these as small gifts to your future self.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please be realistic with your planning. You don&#8217;t want to set yourself up for failure by creating an unrealistic plan that you can&#8217;t stick to. Also, allow for some flexibility and be kind to yourself if things don&#8217;t go as planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Stay_Fit_During_The_Holidays\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-83914\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Holiday-Fitness-Banner-2-1024x640.png\" alt=\"how to stay fit during the holidays\" width=\"770\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Holiday-Fitness-Banner-2-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Holiday-Fitness-Banner-2-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Holiday-Fitness-Banner-2-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Holiday-Fitness-Banner-2-1720x1075.png 1720w, https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Holiday-Fitness-Banner-2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>2.
