Staying Active on Holidays.  

For most of us, staying active on holidays isn’t easy.  Holidays upset our routine.  They also challenge us with unique social cues.  What’s more, holidays may involve inactive habits that have developed over many years. 

The key to staying active on holidays is planning.

Take a minute to think ahead about your next holiday. 
C	Where will you be?
C	What might the weather be like?
C	What days and times of day will you have available for exercise?
C	

Are there places nearby to exercise?
C	Who will you be with?  Are they supportive of your being active?
	C	What kind of “holiday mind” thoughts might get in the way of staying active (e.g., I’m off now)?
	C	If you’re traveling, what gear or clothing will you need to pack?
	C	How can you make staying active extra fun and festive?
