No need to ask where Christmas is! If you have driven in any part of LA it looks like there is an epidemic of Christmas cheer all around and there is no cure. With all the hustle and bustle we can easily slip out of our fitness routines, or choose the less active route for daily activities. So before you cuddle up and hibernate for winter, here are a few things to be aware of this Holiday Season.
Say "so long" to the .com - The winds are gusty, the sweaters are out, and all you want to do is stay warm at home! Make it a goal to bundle up and do as much holiday shopping as you can at your local shops or malls. This will keep you active and get you walking around just a little bit more!
Be a night owl at the Naples canals - The Naples canals makes for a wonderful night time activity. Enjoy twinkling lights while getting a two mile walk in by gaze at beautifully decorated back and front yards!
Make your list, and check it twice - This month can get crazy! With all the holiday parties around town you schedule can get booked up in an instant. Be sure to plan out your workouts as ahead of time as possible. Committing to a weekly plan proves to be much more effective than those last minute class sign ups!
Play hooky with those late night cookies - No one loves a good christmas cookie more than me. But with all the shenanigans happening around town, be aware of how late you are popping those bad boys in your kisser. Late night snacking whether at a party or on your couch can result in holiday cheer specifically around your waist.
