The holiday season is a very busy time for many families and can be hard to find time to get in physical activity. However, fitting in small amounts of physical activity more frequently can make a big difference. Try some of these tips to stay active over the holidays:
- Move more when running errands. Park in the back of the parking lot, walk an extra lap around the mall, and choose the stairs over the escalator.
- Clean up the house. Cleaning out the closet, raking leaves, shoveling snow, cooking can even count towards physical activity!
- Play a game of touch football or other sports with family and friends. Play football, soccer or kickball - or any other sport that your family enjoys. Be sure to get the kids involved in choosing the sport or activity.
- Schedule a walking date. Catch up with an old friend by exploring a new walking trail or take a stroll around the neighborhood.
- Check out the neighborhood light display. Have a family walk around your neighborhood or nearby park to see all of the beautiful lights on display.
