How to Stay Fit on Holidays
Holidays are so much fun, but sometimes we all overdo it with the eating and drinks. For me, I want to come back from my vacation feeling relaxed, recharged, and not too bloated. It's all about balancing indulging with keeping healthy. There are so many ways to stay active and fit on holidays, here are some to try:
1. Paddle Boarding
Works on balance and core stability! The paddling also really works your shoulders, they will be burning after a while. I love paddle boarding, it's so much fun, very peaceful to be out on the lake exploring in a different way.
2. Go for a Hike
Luckily for us we live in an amazing country, super close to the mountains and there are so many trails to explore. There are some for every fitness level, ranging from 30 minute hikes to a few days of adventuring. Every spring, summer, and fall we go to the mountains a few times, and everytime I go and find a new hike for us to try. Some we've done a few times, because they're super scenic but it's so fun to try new ones all the time. We explored some really beautiful falls this last time, the hike is always worth the views.
3. Go Swimming
Swimming is a great workout! And if you're not a strong swimmer (like myself) I like to run and jump off the end of the dock and haul our selves back up. It's like doing a few pull-ups, and it's a great way to cool down when it's hot.
4. Do a Mobility Workout/Yoga
Easy peasy, you don't need any (or much) equipment and especially if you've been couped up in a car you're bound to be tight! Nothing better than a good 15-30 minutes spent stretching after a car ride, or after a hike or just to start the day right.
Feeling Festive
Outfit: Dress-Bamboo Ballroom, Jacket-Dynamite, Shoes-Payless, Purse-Chapters, Necklaces-Noul, Ring-Vintage/Noul.
It seems to be that time of the year where there are family dinners, and Christmas parties going on every week. I love this time of year for busting out my party dresses and having a chance to get dolled up. So even for Thanksgiving or a family dinner I tend to be the most dressed up, but I like to think it's better to be overdressed than underdressed. I spend 80% of my week in workout gear so whenever I can get a bit dressier I try to.
This simple palette of grey, black and a pop of red is always a go-to for holiday parties. It's easy, classic and always looks great. I've had this dress for years and I still love it, it has pockets, the detail on the back is gorgeous and it's comfortable. 1 small problem: All that strength training has made my butt/thighs too big and I actually ripped it doing lunges. UGH. The down side of being a fit female, they don't make clothes for us!
