DURING THE HOLIDAYS Staying Physically Active 1. Keepmoving. In addition to staying active, try to avoid sitting for prolonged periods of time. Research shows that getting up for just five minutes every 30 to 60 minutes and performing light activity reduces the risk of diabetes and other heart disease risk factors. 2. Be creative and get rid of the ‘all or nothing’ mindset. The holidays are hectic but do your best when it comes to healthful eating and physical activity. In reality, there is more than just one way to live healthfully and be active. During the holidays, get a bit creative with exercise and opt for fun ways that make physical activity a family affair. 3. Plan – and remember there is always time and opportunity for a workout. Plan your workouts for the week and note them in your schedule to assure they are a part of your day. Also, remember that some exercise is better than none. Fromnow until New Year’s Day, your schedule will likely be filled with family obligations, traveling, and festive outings with all sorts of tempting treats. Even the most disciplined people can find it difficult to stick to their health and fitness routines. However, with these tips, you will be able tomanage activity into your daily schedule with patience and time.
