‘Tis the season for figgy pudding, hot cocoa, and indulgent baked goods – what better time of year to actively work on avoiding weight gain? Between the holiday treats, lack of activity due to cold weather, and late-night family movie night snacking, it can be tempting to take a small calorie break or a few extra eggnog lattes. But if you stay active during the holidays, you can keep your hard-earned waistline intact! Try scheduling an outdoor activity that combines family time and exercise – a snowball fight in the park or even biking around town with your loved ones. It’s easier to hit that fitness goal when it’s more fun. And if all else fails, make sure you have room for dessert!
