Staying Healthy
During the
HOLIDAYS
Busy during the Holidays? Here are some tips to help you stay on track with your health and fitness goals!
Make small changes:
- Cut back on soda.
- Eat smaller portions of your favorite holiday delights.
- Drink more water.
- Take the stairs while shopping.
- Beat the parking traffic and walk to shop.
- Make these changes into healthier habits.
No time to go to the gym?
- Fit in 15-minute at-home workouts to your daily schedule.
- Do short workouts any time: during movie night, while cooking, whenever!
- Any exercise is better than no exercise!
BALANCE
- Holidays are all about the meals and celebrating with your loved ones. So keep in mind:
- If you know you’re going to a dinner party at night, have a lighter meal during the day.
- Food is meant to be enjoyed, so pick the dish that you like the most as your main meal of the day and enjoy healthier options for other portions.
- Focus on the importance of the holidays: spend quality time with loved ones.
- Slow down and enjoy each bite of your favorite meals.
