Tis' the season- almost. It is coming and whether you are giddy with excitement for the first snowflake and visions of trimming the tree or sick to your stomach thinking about all the shopping, cleaning, cooking, wrapping and endless cards to mail, exercise is key to keeping the stress at bay. We all have our routines and most of us hit the gym or the pavement regularly, but eggnog goes in and the gym is out! So before jingle bells starts playing on every station, get some back up in place- high tech style. There are some clever innovations that will give you an extra push right onto the treadmill. Then you can you focus at the mall and get thru the holidays, laughing all the way!
1. Text messages-a service will send you messages to remind you about healthy diet and exercise habits. Check out myhealtheme.com
2. Apps- right on your phone you can track calorie intake and log workouts! Look at lose it! and mapmyfitness, this will track your exercise progress and help you find running and bike routes.
3. Fitness Video Games- So many choices! You and your whole family can get into the groove together-on Wii, Playstaion or Xbox.
4. Websites and Social Networks- Sparkpeople.com is an online community that has free meal plans, lets you chart your progress, and receive feedback from fellow users.
As always, reach out thru email, Facebook or Twitter. Promising to meet a friend for a walk or class will always guilt me into putting on my sneaks, and then any project can be tackled- even Christmas!
