On the 12 days….


On the first day of the holidays the candy and cookies start to build, try some fruit.  I believe the partridge will give you a pear from his tree.

On the second day of the holidays avoid the dove bars, burn some extra calories by parking further from the mall you will also get a cardio workout.

On the third day of the holidays the French hens suggest drinking plenty of water and eating a balanced meal before heading out for your holiday party.

On the fourth day of the holidays you have a calorie burning opportunity by decorating the outside of your house.  Climbing up and down on the ladder stringing lights is how the calling birds stay so fit.

On the fifth day of the holidays my true love gave to me five golden rings.  I laid them down on the ground and set up a tire run for an excellent agility training workout.

On the sixth day of the holidays get together with all your little geese and walk a mile or two to sing carols at a hospital, nursing home, or your neighborhood.

On the seventh day of the holidays the swans can’t swim because it’s too cold, but check out a local ice rink and take a twirl on the ice to burn some calories.

On the eighth day of the holidays try small portion sizes of seasoned nuts for a healthy treat. The Maids need a break from milking to make all the butter for the cookies.

On the ninth day of the holidays march to the beat of your own drum and take the stairs to go to different floors in the mall instead of taking the escalator or elevator.

On the tenth day of the holidays the stress builds as the piper pipes.  Relax! Don’t add extra pressures on yourself.  Take time to laugh and enjoy (Laughing actually burns calories and tightens up the core).

On the eleventh day of the holidays host a holiday party using a gym or park to do activities putting a seasonal twist on them or just join the ladies dancing.

On the twelfth day of the holidays the lords are leaping!  Give yourself a day to eat and drink as you please. Enjoy the holidays as a special time for family and friends.  

Have a wonderful holiday filled with peace, joy and health for you, your friends and family.
