Holiday Weight Gain Statistics
- Average Americans gain 1-8 pounds during the holiday season, with fitter individuals gaining less.
- This weight gain accounts for about half of the total yearly weight gain for Americans, often compounding over time.
Reasons for Holiday Weight Gain
- Several factors cause holiday weight gain: decreased activity due to weather, food-centric celebrations, stress-related eating, and increased alcohol consumption.
- Alcohol is calorically dense, lowers inhibitions, negatively impacts sleep, and indirectly increases overall calorie intake.
Home Workouts for Muscle Building
- Prioritize convenient, muscle-building home workouts, especially during the holidays when gym attendance drops.
- Focus on strength training at home using equipment like suspension trainers and resistance bands.
