Influencers Sommer Ray, Alisha Marie, Aad More Share Their Best Holiday Fitness Tips: ‘Just Move!’

Sommer Ray says eat what you want, “just stay in the gym.”

If anyone knows how to get a killer bod, it’s Sommer. But her advice for holiday snack cravings is pretty surprising! “I think around the holidays, you shouldn’t not let yourself eat that food,” she told us. “You want to be with family and enjoy yourself. Just stay in the gym, so when you eat those calories you can burn them.”

“When you can’t work out, just remember to drink a lot of water,” she said, of the times where you’re traveling or simply too busy to hit the weights. “People drink a lot of alcohol and your body needs water to digest properly so make sure you get plenty of water.” We can definitely do that! Oh, and even when we aren’t working out, we’ll be rocking Sommer’s clothing line for sure.

Kaisa Keranen says “just move!”

Even the strong and beautiful Instagram fitness guru @KaisaFit says guilt has no place over the holidays! “Be creative over the holidays!” she explained. “Instead of feeling guilty about not getting your workout in, just remember that some movement is better than none! Take a lap around the house or lunge to the dessert table, whatever you do #JustMove!”

Alisha Marie says “the new year is a fresh start!”

“It can be frustrating getting back on track after the holidays but I love seeing the new year as a fresh start,” Alisha, who launched her very own apparel line, told us. “Try eating healthy and not eating out Monday through Friday, but then allowing yourself to grab dinner with your friends on the weekends. It’ll give you something to look forward to during the week and stay on track.” And while you’re hitting the gym, you can listen to Alisha’s hilarious podcast!

Remi Cruz suggests “not restricting yourself.”

“The holidays can be tough with so many parties, but remind yourself to eat intuitively and not restrict yourself, and try not to stress yourself out,” said Remi, who launched a line of razors with Venus. “After the holidays you’ll kick it back into your normal routine, enjoy yourself and have fun!” Make sure you check out Remi’s amazing podcast, too!

‘Tone It Up’ founders Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott say “accountability” is key!

Katrina and Karena know more than a thing or two about fitness, and they want to make sure you can get a quick workout in anywhere you are… even over Christmas. “Everyone is so busy during the holidays, between parties, shopping, and family time,” they told Life & Style exclusively. “That’s why it’s important to take time out of your day for you. Getting a quick workout in will help you feel more energized and balanced.”

The Tone It Up ladies know this can be hard, so they’re helping us out with even more advice. “Planning your workouts in advance is key to staying accountable,” they said. “We love to schedule workouts in our Studio Tone It Up fitness app. You can sign up for classes every hour on the hour and do them from anywhere, which is perfect for holiday travel. Having an accountability partner also makes you more likely to work out and makes it more fun, so invite a friend or a family member to join you for your Studio class before your holiday celebrations.”

Sylvia Gani says “at-home workouts” will keep you on track.

Sylvia may be super busy dealing with the success of her palette launch with BH Cosmetics, but she still makes time for her workouts! “During the holidays, I do at-home workouts such as abs, squats, and lunges to stay fit,” she told us. “The holiday treats are always the best so even if my workouts aren’t  consistent I know I can get back on track afterward.”

Caitlin Turner says “stay hydrated!”

The Gypset Goddess herself, Caitlin Turner, said, “the holidays can be as stressful as they are fun, so make sure to stay hydrated and get good rest. This will keep your energy and mentality high, and make it easier to bounce back after the holiday madness.” We can totally do that!
