During the Holidays, Do More Cardio!

The Holidays are fast approaching! That means one big meal after another, and one party after another! When the holidays are over, many of us make a New Year's resolution to lose weight, but it's usually the weight we just put on in the last month!

Don't fall into that trap this year. I am not saying to avoid those parties, and not enjoy those fabulous holiday meals. But, what I am saying is that you should work extra hard to avoid adding on the pounds from those meals by doing more cardio exercise.

If you have never done much cardio exercise, simply start out by walking. If it is cold, or snowy outside, head over to the local mall in the morning join the parade of walkers. Walk for at least 30 minutes, but if you are physically able, walk at least an hour.

If you are used to doing some cardio exercise, add more to your normal workouts. If you jog, swim, bike or do any other exercise that makes you breathe hard, and you do this three days per week, try to add a fourth workout, and start by adding an additional 5 minutes to each workout.

If you can avoid adding on those extra pounds during the holidays, then you won't have to work so hard on your body in the New Year. And, THAT will leave more time to work on your golf game!
