Keep Those Holiday Pounds At Bay With These Tips

The holidays are approaching, and I can speak for myself. I usually don’t have time to run, bike, or hike. Then Thanksgiving, the Advent calendar, holiday cookies, Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year's wreck my body.

"Studies have shown that, from mid-November until mid-January, people averaged a weight gain in the population of about three quarters of a pound or so. It doesn't sound like much, but it stays on," -Mayo Cinic

I try to fit time into my hectic schedule to counteract my food intake. I have to carve it out of my hectic schedule and dive headfirst into a 60-minute block for me - and only me. 

If you don't have 30 minutes to run, then run an hour!

Joining a local running club is an excellent idea for many reasons.

A fantastic reason to get involved is the opportunity to meet others with a similar fitness level for running, walking, or jogging! Many people have committed to their fitness journeys for months, years, or even decades, creating a vibrant community that inspires and motivates one another. Join in and thrive together!

People are trying to make health and fitness a routine that they’ll stick to. 

I appreciate hearing Blair McHaney from Worx remind us that “if you don’t work out or exercise, you slowly lose fitness. In the same way, we slowly gain fitness by working out and exercising daily.”

Something I need to do—and I’m surprised I haven’t done it yet — is to join a running club. We have one here in Wenatchee - that is FREE for you to join.

This club is called Run Wenatchee.

They’ll even give you a free running t-shirt if you start getting consistent with your running or walking routine!

Run Wenatchee invites both new and experienced runners to gather for runs, jogs, or walks every Wednesday night.
