Making time for fitness over the holidays

The holidays are such a busy time, making it is easy to fall out of your regular routine.  Below are a few tips to help you build in time for fitness over this busy holiday season:

• Park farther away from your destination each time you go out
• Commit to a brisk walk for 10-15 minutes before or after any family meal
• Plan social activities around fitness: skating party, bowling, tobogganing or skiing
• If you are travelling, visit a friends gym or yoga studio (the first class is often free)

Sometimes, even when you have the best intentions, fitting it all in is just too much.  So if you happen to have a few days where you happen to miss the mark, give yourself a break and just enjoy all that is fun this holiday season!
