Thank you to our colleagues at the Health & Recreation Complex (HRC) for the following submission:

The holiday season is a time for celebration, unity and happiness.  Yet, it can certainly bring on challenges to both our physical and emotional health.  With schedules getting busier and delicious food at our fingertips, it is important that we take time for self-care.  If you are feeling you have fewer hours in the day to stay physically active, you are not alone.  According to the physical activity guidelines for Americans, adults are supposed to get at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity 5 days a week.  Did you know you could complete your recommended exercise in small bouts?  For example, try taking a 10- minute walk in the morning, at lunch and after dinner.  Small bouts of exercise seem much less daunting and more attainable, especially when our schedules are unbalanced.  Is time lacking for a gym visit?  Check out this link for the top 25 exercises you can do from home:  https://www.acefitness.org/education-and-resources/lifestyle/blog/6593/top-25-at-home-exercises.  Here’s to the holidays and physical activity!
