Should I or Shouldn't I?



The average person gains 8-12lbs during the holiday season! YIKES! Since Sassy Girl's are not average chicks I know this won't happen to you!
Exercising during the holidays is so important because not only will you fight off those unwanted pounds you will increase your energy level too! Just ONE hour a day 3-4 times a week does the trick. You will feel better about yourself and you'll be in a better mood which means you can handle the insane people in the stores while doing your holiday shopping.
You can improve your health. Lowered cholesterol, blood pressure, better joint mobility to name a few are some of the benefits exercise can do for you. This does not mean you can skip your docs ok. I advise to get your doctors approval if starting exercise for the first time.
You can look better now. It's not too late to get yourself looking fab for NYE! Don't wait till 2013 do it now!

Here are a few of my favorite ways to stay motivated to exercise during the holidays.

- Shop for you! Go ahead and get that fancy workout top as a reward for being consistent with your workouts.

- Sign up for the Jingle Bell Run with your family and friends.

- That's what friends are for...Find an exercise/running buddy to hold you accountable during the holiday season.

- My personal favorite...Ask for a personal training package or gift cards for a workout studio near you for Christmas!

A sassy girl is always motivated but these 4 things may make finding a reason to workout during the holidays more fun! I hope so!

Happy Holidays Sassy!
