The holidays are fast approaching and with that said HEALTH, being our number one assest and liability, should be taken in to account!  The holiday time is feastive, fun and full of family, friends and plates of fabulous food...however; you can enjoy yourself and partake in all the yummy treats and eats without worrying about the dreaded New Year resolution of hitting the gym full force on January 1st!  Here are a few tips and quickies to help stay FIT and in your favorite jeans from November through January...that we really should practice all year! :-)

1. WALK briskly around the shopping centers.
          On "black Friday" and any other day your traveling through the malls or grocery stores; move       fast...breathe in and out.  Keep that heart beating fast with the excitement of the holidays!
2. Take the stairs instead of elevators.
          Very useful!  Keeps your legs toned and that butt tight!
3. Don't fall right to sleep after a meal.
          As tempting as it is-Don't do it!  Take that time to take the kids to the park, or a walk around the neigborhood, or dance!!  Nothing wrong with putting on a great cd or the radio and creating your very own soul train line.  Learn some new moves!  Crowd Pleasers Entertainment has a great line-dance cd ready for you to purchase for days of dancing fun!
4. Use everyday chores as a regiment!
          You'd be surprised as how much energy is used on everyday household chores!  Arm curl thoses and pot pans!  Sweep, mop or vacuum the floor with deep, elongated arm thrusts.  Wiping windows...wax and wan 10 times each!  It works!!
5. Drink plenty of water!
          Take bottles with you if you have to, but remember to drink them.  For every juice, soda or alcoholic beverage you drink...chase it down with the same volume of water!  Stay hydrated!
6. Balance and Moderation.
           You truly don't need 3 slices of cake, or that triple helping of dressing!  Eat and drink in moderation.  Don't eat to get full.  If you find yourself wanting mid-night snacks; instead of another slice of pie, get a serving of fruit salad or simply eat a peice of fruit!
7. Bundle up and enjoy the weather.
          Go outside and play kickball, shoot hoops, throw a ball around, hop-scotch.  Think back to your favorite holidays games and hop to it.  Get'er done!  You'll feel great and have a blast doing it!
