Be Motivated to Move Through the Holidays

November 30, 2011 by

[HTML1] We’re in the thick of the holidays, a tough time to get or stay motivated with exercise. We interview ourselves (and LOVE our answers)  to offer 6 tips to help you stay active and feel positive through the season.

Three of our six tips advise you to:

  • Focus on the process, not goal!
  • Select activities that are enjoyable, not another chore on the long list of tasks to get done along with holiday shopping and travel planning.
  • And quit comparing yourself to a former self.
