WORKOUT TIPS
Remember, even a short workout is better than no workout at all.
- Schedule in your workouts like you would any holiday party. Battle the holiday belly by keeping up with your workouts. Be sure to stick to your workout schedule and you too can enjoy the holidays without gaining those extra few pounds.
- Rehearse your workout routine. Practice makes perfect, so in order to be familiar and comfortable with your exercise routine, do it as often as possible.
- Jump rope. Jumping rope is an amazing way to get a few minutes of intense cardio workout and it can be done just about anywhere.
- Grab a workout buddy. Strength in numbers (literally and figuratively). Grab a workout buddy who will push you and support you.
STAY ACTIVE
Last week we covered healthy holiday tips. We learned:
- You’re more likely to stick with walking than any other exercise.
- Just 30 minutes of walking a day can improve your circulation, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, and help you lose weight.
You can also stay active by:
- Dancing around to holiday songs with your loved ones. Be goofy! Enjoy your company, and enjoy the spirit of the holidays!
- Partake in winter activities such as, sledding, ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, ice hockey or enjoy an activity with your children or grandchildren, run around with them.
- Partake in a relaxing workout. Get the family involved and do yoga or tai chi to exercise and unwind.
- Join a gym. The holidays are the time of year studios, personal trainers and gyms run promotions.
