How to Stay Active and Exercise during the Holidays?
As the holidays draw near, many find themselves struggling to stay active and motivated to exercise. Therefore, they tend to put the breaks on or abandon their fitness routine altogether. Cold weather and dark mornings make it easy to get out of bed; add in the fact that everyone is depressed and it can feel impossible.
Tips for Staying Active and Exercising during the Holidays
Here are a few tips to help make staying active easier.
1) Get some exercise by cleaning your house
Do all the chores you usually have to pay other people to do, such as vacuuming and scrubbing the refrigerator, bending and crouching while folding clothes and taking them out of the dryer, and running up and down stairs while moving furniture or bringing in groceries. You’ll be amazed at how much exercise you get from doing all that work.
2) Appropriate clothes for winter
It’s easy to let a bad mood or the cold weather keep you from going outside.
Don’t let the winter weather stop you from getting outside for a walk or run. Proper cold-weather clothing can help keep you warm and comfortable while you’re active in the cold.
