Many people are tempted to just coast through the rest of the year right now as the prospect of holiday parties, family get togethers and shopping looms on the horizon. It is easy to put off exercise with a growing to-do list and less time. However, if you can squeeze in a session here and there, you’ll enjoy a much easier holiday season and have a jump on the New Years crowd. A few minutes spent outside getting the heart rate up and enjoying the crisp air of late fall can really calm the nerves and make it easier to enjoy this special time of year. Though it may not be a time of year to focus on weight loss, you CAN avoid unwanted weight gain and be ready to really take off in January!
