To get the best of both worlds, we've rounded up 10 products that'll help you enjoy the holidays while still maximizing your workouts. Read on to see our picks.
NutraBio LeanShots
Don’t store fat – use it. Ditch those extra holiday pounds with NutraBio’s new LeanShots, a powerful blend of L-Carnitine and B-5. This liquid formula helps to boost your body’s ability to naturally increase energy production, promoting better performance and recovery, fat metabolism, and weight loss.

Bala On-The-Go Kit
For many of us, the holiday season means trains, planes, and automobiles – and that means a lot of missed gym sessions. Turn the world into your gym with this On-The-Go Kit from Bala. The kit provides a set of lightweight bars and wrist or ankle weights that can easily be packed in a carry-on or backpack. While they won’t replace your gym’s squat rack, they’re perfect for sneaking in a little workout while you’re home (or away) for the holidays.
Alpha Prime Prime Bites® Protein Brownies
You guys, I’m obsessed with these protein brownies from Alpha Prime. When I tell you they will curb all your cravings for holiday treats, I’m not kidding. They taste like they should be so bad for you, but they’re actually packed with 17 grams of protein, collagen, and are naturally sweetened with erythritol and monk fruit extract. They’re soft, chewy, gluten-free, and make the perfect late-night snack, post-workout fuel, or treat when you’re trying to stay away from those holiday baked goods. Use code LIFTBOX15 for 15% off your order.
Vuori Men’s Sunday Performance Jogger
There’s a theory that wearing athletic clothing makes a person more likely to workout. That concept still needs some research, but I’m a firm believer that wearing your favorite workout gear definitely makes it easier to hit the gym. These joggers from Vuori are perfect for transitioning from holiday gathering to training session, so you don’t have to think twice about fitting that workout into your packed holiday schedule.
Amazon Basics 20-Piece Glass Storage Containers
Given the choice between holiday leftovers and cooking a healthy meal from scratch, you’re probably going to choose the leftovers. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, a balanced meal of lean protein, fat, and whole grain carbohydrates is probably the smarter choice if you’re looking to keep off the extra holiday pounds. That’s where meal prepping comes in. Proven to help support weight loss and improve diet quality, these glass containers make meal prepping a breeze, so you always have a healthy, high-quality meal to reach for when you open the fridge.
