Holiday Exercise Tips



Do what you like.
   Exercise doesn't have to be a chore to be good for you. Any activity that gets your heart pumping and muscles moving will work!


Aim for consistency.
   Do an activity everyday, even if it's just a small walk at lunch. Try to get into an exercise habit.


Strive for time and distance.
   Whatever activity you choose, gradually build up and work toward increasing your time and distance for the greatest health benefits. Keep in mind, try to be reasonable when you begin a new activity, over stressing yourself too soon can lead to injury, which would keep you from your new activity.


Consider recruiting an exercise partner.
   Partners who depend on each other are less likely to stop exercising when things become busy. Choose someone whose ability and interest match your own for the most enjoyment!
