Healthy for the Holidays...Part Two

Of course, another way to be active is go to the beach for the Holidays!

There's no need to be sedentary during November and December.  If you don't have time for traditional exercise, try these ideas:

• Wear a pedometer.  How many extra steps can you get in while shopping?  Don't be efficient when getting your decorations from the attic.  Carry less and make extra trips; you'll be less likely to drop and break something, too!
• What in your schedule is not adding tons of value to your life?  Exercise instead.
• Exercise while watching your favorite Christmas movies.
• Rock Around the Christmas Tree, literally.  Put on some music and dance.
• Participate; don't spectate.  If your kids are playing in a pile of leaves, join them.
• 60/5 rule.  Every 60 minutes of sitting (shopping on the Internet, wrapping gifts, etc.), get up and walk around for 5 minutes.

Have an active and fun Season of Celebration!
