Staying Healthy During the Holidays
From Ande Masoncup,
Asst. Superintendent of Rec
It's the most wonderful time of the year! The holiday season has arrived. This season brings lots of joy, laughter and togetherness, but often it also brings more stress than usual. We tend to stress about gift giving, food at parties, family
get-togethers and more. During this season, we find that we may be exercising a little less because there is shopping to be done and parties to attend. But exercise helps us cope with stress, so during the holidays try and make it a priority and fit it in your schedule!
Here are just a few ideas to sneak in your exercise routine during the holiday season:
- pack a healthy lunch and take a walk on your break at work instead of going out
- start your day early and exercise before work
- go for walk in the evening (remember to bundle up!) if you were not able to make it to the fitness center

Physical Activity Guidelines have been released by the Department of Health and Human Services. Check to see if you and your loved ones are meeting the minimum requirement. Most of us are not, so how do we go about reaching these guidelines? Everyone is different so the solution varies, but NRC has many options to help you reach these guidelines. Let us know if you have any questions!
