...one to go. Articles upon articles will tell us how to stay calm during a hectic holiday season, but what about those of us who don't find this season so stressful? An avid exerciser, I make fitness my priority and schedule other pursuits around my workouts. I'll pick up gifts on my lunch break or after a quick run. I make running from shop to shop on the icy Washington streets my warm-up or cool-down, or even my workout. I squat with my knees when reaching down to the cheaper cans of low-fat gravy and carry my groceries in a basket rather than push them in a cart. Being busy is inevitable this time of year, but it is a plus when put to good use: make it a workout!
Cooking, cleaning, shopping, wrapping; all these physical activities are certain to get your heart rate pumping. An active holiday season will allow you more time to relax once December 25 (or January 1) has passed.
