Staying Physically Fit During the Holidays
Now with more tools to help you recover quickly! WEBSITE??
1. Keep moving. 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 (say, pacing around the house or performing simple squat exercises) reduces the risk of diabetes and other heart disease risk factors. 2. Be creative and get rid of ‘all or nothing’ mindsets. Avoid the ‘all or nothing’ mentality when it comes to healthful eating and physical activity. There is more than just one way to live healthfully and be active. Get a bit creative with exercise and opt for fun ways to make physical activity a family affair. From exploring new group fitness classes (in-person or virtually) to building physical activity into holiday traditions. Think outside the box when it comes to ways to have quality time with family and friends while also prioritizing your health. 3. Plan – 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. Rather than skipping the gym altogether, make time for a quick workout. From now until New Year’s Day, your schedule will likely be filled with family obligations 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 to manage activity into your daily schedule with patience and time. Natasha had back pain related to “Diastasis.” “Diastasis recti” means your belly sticks out because the space between your left and right belly muscles has widened. Her goal was to be able to walk into a gym and: • Use certain muscles and not worry about pain in her abdominal muscles. • Be able to accomplish goals that she set for herself inside & outside the gym.

I truly enjoyed coming to PT. I came 3 days a week for as little over a month and it never once felt like a choice. Tessa and the staff truly care about their patients and are super friendly. This was also my 3rd time attempting PT for my diastasic but I was never able to get this far with progress. Thank you!”
