The tree isn't the single thing worth trimming this holiday season. With the Xmas season round the corner, we have our eyes set on delicious desserts, creamy side dishes, and a lot of food.
While you may be eating twice the quantity of calories that you usually would, there is no reason for you to stint on your exercise regime. Actually it is more of a reason to ensure that you get some exercise so that Grandma's stick-to-your-ribs casserole, doesn't literally stick to your ribs. Here are some simple tips to help you remain active across the vacation season.
Wake Up Early
Try waking up before everybody else. This could appear like a no-brainer, but if you wake up an hour before lots of your holiday guests wake up, you will be ready to get in a pleasant 45-minute jog round the neighborhood and still have enough time to take a fast shower without missing anything. Figure out the proper way to exercise without visiting the gym to make this work best for your lifestyle.
Help in the Kitchen
It is superb how many calories you burn in the kitchen. Baking alone, can burn up to 200 calories an hour, and usually when you're cooking, you are less likely to eat more at the table because you take small tastes here and there in the kitchen. Ever been in the kitchen during holiday preparations? They do not lie when they say that blood, sweat, and tears went into preparing this meal. Try and keep it healthy by incorporating omega-3 fatty acids into your meal.
Volunteer to Play with the Youngsters
If you are someone who's good with kids, volunteer to play with them. Youngsters are naturally active, hyper, and are continually moving. Surrounding yourself with active people, much less children who need your attention and keep your pulse up, will make sure that you're burning those extra calories. Work out some exciting pastimes that push for physical fitness.
Inspire the Family to Take Part in Activities
Flag football? Family walks? A quick game of hide-and-seek? Encourage your family to avoid the after-dinner snoozes and to get out and do something active. Even a 20 minute walk after a gigantic meal can make the rich foods less likely to go direct to your thighs, stomach, or wherever else you are prone to gaining weight.
