Quick Tips - How to Stay Active and Exercise During the Holidays

Tuesday November 20, 2007

What is it about the holidays that brings out both the best and worst of us? I trained two clients today - one who told me she was going to drink on Thanksgiving...a lot, so please don't weigh her until a later time and another who couldn't wait to see his family this weekend. Whether you're stressed out or pumped up about Thanksgiving, fitting some exercise in can only help matters. Not only can you manage your weight, but you can also reduce stress and bump up your energy levels.

To give you some ideas for how to fit in a little exercise, my new article Quick Tips - How to Stay Active and Exercise During the Holidays covers everything from ideas on how to plan ahead to short workouts you can do to maintain your body and your sanity.

I know that a lot of you have signed up for Thanksgiving races or turkey trots...how else do you stay active? Leave a comment and tell us about it.
