Chances are, your calendar is booked through New Year's with parties, shopping excursions, family gatherings, and other seasonal activities. While plans with friends and family may disrupt your regular exercise routine, there are still simple ways to get your fitness fix during the holidays.
As Dr. Arthur Agatston, preventive cardiologist and author of The South Beach Diet® advises, some exercise is better than none (although 30 minutes most days of the week is best), so it makes sense to squeeze in as much as you can manage. Here are four tips to help you work it out:
1. Get up a little earlier. Set your alarm earlier than usual and do a short workout or yoga/stretching routine. Exercise will help energize you for the busy day ahead, plus checking off your fitness routine first thing in the morning makes it less likely that other things -- like a business lunch or a weeknight party -- will interfere.
2. Plan a family activity. Involve everyone in a friendly game of tag or touch football; check out an ice rink and go skating; or head to a nearby town for some strolling and window-shopping.
3. Manage your time in the kitchen. If you're hosting a crowd, try to get a head start and prepare as much as you can in advance so that you have more time for your own pursuits. Take shortcuts, like buying prewashed veggies, premade hummus, or jarred, minced garlic. By minimizing your prep work, you'll reduce stress -- and have time for a short daily walk!
4. Recruit a few helpers. Get your family members involved in meal preparations, decorations, or cleanup -- and spend the time you save on getting in some exercise.
