Holiday Exercise Tips

Don’t let the hustle and bustle of the holiday season spoil your fitness routine. These easy tips will help you stay on track with your exercise schedule:

1. Invite Guests – If family or friends are in town, why not invite them to join in your exercise plans.

2. Schedule Time – Make an appointment with yourself to workout! You’ll be more likely to keep to your exercise regiment if you treat it as an “appointment”.

3. Work Out At Home – If the weather outside is frightful, just workout at home! Try an exercise video or walk on a treadmill.

4. Do Mini-Workouts – During the holidays it can be hard to find time for a full-blown workout. Instead break up your workout into three 10-minute sessions.

5. Multitask – If you already have to go shopping or run errands, why not exercise at the same time?  Try to get in some extra steps by using the stairs instead of the elevator, taking additional laps around the mall, and parking far from the front door of the store.

 6. Set Achievable Goals -Instead of working out five times per week, you may have to settle for three.
