Tis the Season to Boost Your Activity Level

The holidays are filled with delicious feasts and scrumptious treats, along with that sense of laziness and relaxation that comes with vacation time. Keeping up with your daily exercise routine seems nearly impossible and somewhat useless when considering your gluttonous holiday diet.

With that said, just 30 minutes of activity each day can keep your weight under control, relieve holiday stress and make you feel better about yourself overall. Exercise doesn’t have to be exhausting to have a benefit -- and there are plenty of fun activities to keep you and your family active throughout the holidays.

Keep up your activity level by including your family and friends in fun daily activities like hiking, ice skating, snowshoeing, skiing or snowboarding. Even playing in the snow, making a snowman or snow angel, starting an old-fashioned snowball fight or backyard sledding are all lively activities to boost your energy and curb your holiday cravings. No time to get to the gym? Try these 25 at-home exercises that are simple yet effective.

Bottom line: The holidays are here and we all know working out can be put on the back burner when it comes to spending time with family and friends. Remember to keep a balance between your social activities and your physical health and well-being. Sneak in those fun, energizing activities, and of course, remember to enjoy yourself!
