During the holiday season, the festivities and food can take a toll on one's diet and waistline. Due to the fact that people are often more preoccupied during these times of the year, remembering to stick to a diet plan or putting time aside to exercise can be difficult. However, instead of packing on the pounds during this holiday season, here are five ways to keep the calories off.
1. Intensify Christmas Shopping
Despite cold temperatures, one of the best ways to exercise during the wintertime is to take a walk. Since the weather is so cold, people would be inclined to walk faster, which burns more calories. Taking a walk, especially after a big meal can help maintain one's weight. Furthermore, taking a walk with family or friends can boost people's spirits as well.
These are just five ways people can be active during the holidays without actually going to the gym.
