Ironically, this is the time of year you may need the movement most.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can stay focused on fitness throughout the holly jolly season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Rise and Shine:<\/strong>\u00a0Consider creating the habit of working out first thing in the morning. Not only will doing so clear your mind and set the tone for the day, but for many, it\u2019s the best way to avoid excuses and ensure the workout happens at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Every Bit Counts:<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t forget that every bit of movement counts \u2014 even holiday shopping. This is an especially important lesson if you\u2019re not a gym lover. In fact, one of the best ways to stay healthy is with walking. You can even do it during your lunch break. With just 30 minutes of brisk walking added to your daily routine, you could burn about 150 more calories a day, according to the Mayo Clinic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Track It:<\/strong>\u00a0Wearable tech can help you stay accountable to your goals as well as motivate you to set new ones. Check out the latest additions to the new POWER TRAINER sports lineup of watches from G-SHOCK, which go beyond an athletic aesthetic to offer advanced functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Features include a Training Log 200 LAP Memory, Training Timer, Target Alarm and Double Super Illuminator LED light to guide you through late-night and early morning pre-dawn workouts. Both the men and women\u2019s series come equipped with Bluetooth technology compatible through the G-SHOCK Connected app. Employing new technology developed by Casio, the app displays a graph which breaks down daily steps taken in each of five metabolic equivalent (MET) levels from data based on the step count and walking pace, as well as displays the exact time of day the wearer\u2019s calories were burned, making it useful for interval training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Friends and Family:<\/strong>\u00a0Tis the season to spend time with friends and family, and there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t extend that mentality when it comes to your fitness routine. Maximize workouts by combining it with quality time \u2014 ask your spouse, sibling, best friend or anyone near and dear to your heart to join you at the gym or on a walk.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to juggle during the busy holiday season, but with the right tools and mindset, it\u2019s easier to prioritize fitness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(StatePoint) There are plenty of temptations to skip a workout during the holiday season.
