I am taking a short trip to my native land Australia, in a month. I will be using these tips to stay in shape while I indulge in everything aussie.
1. Do 30 min of physical activity in the morning- A walk, run, some bodyweight exercises, anything. Chances are you will caught up doing stuff later in the day. Get up 30 min earlier and get some activity in. Your waistline will than you.
We all lead busy lives. Between work, family and the time we spend helping others, we have little time to devote to our health and wellness. This can lead to stress and weight gain, two factors that often go hand-in-hand. However, we can start to reverse this by just being more active.
It’s the old question: “Why would anybody jump out of a perfectly good airplane?” Well, I have an answer now: “It is exhilarating!” I came to this piece of wisdom yesterday, November 24, when, after several weather-related re-schedules, my day had come and I went up in an airplane, jumped out and landed a few minutes later. Mind you, it was a tandem jump. I was perfectly secured and strapped onto an experienced instructor and had nothing else to do but to enjoy the ride. But enjoy the ride I did.
So like most of you the holidays come with a mixture of emotions for me. I look forward to spending time with my family, I LOVE the food, and it's always nice to spend some time reflecting on how fortunate you are. However, as far as diet and exercise regimens go this time of year seems to be a long drawn out nightmare. Every time I get through a holiday and just start to get back on track with my eating, here comes another one to throw me off again. I've long since given up the fight to resist all the awesome food that my family works so hard to bring to the table.
Hello, everyone! I encourage you all to enjoy this last weekend in October by finding an activity that you find enjoyable and fun. I am playing tennis on Saturday and hiking on Sunday. I look forward to hearing about any fun, invigorating, and unique activities you will be doing to stay fit this autumn.
