There is no better time to up your ante and clock in more steps than over Christmas and the New Year. A little more walking during your festive shopping sprees can work wonders. Here’s a tip: comfortable shoes are always pleasing to the feet!
Holiday Moves
#1 Step-by-step
Quit rushing with the manic crowd, but relax and soak in the festivities with a longer and less crowded stroll instead. You’ll be surprised by the distance you can go this holiday season.
#2 Spread the love
Welcome the pre-party and dinner preparations with open arms! Offer to collect that turkey, or decorate the house. Not only will you clock more steps, you’ll be loved very much!
#3 Step to the beat
Nifty dance moves or not, the New Year countdown is your chance to step it up and groove to the beat. As long as you’re rocking it, who cares if you dance with two left feet?
#4 Forget the car
With the manic holiday traffic, leave your car behind and ride the train. It’s easy on the nerves and you’ll get more steps in.
#5 Tail that coffee trail
Kopi Siu Dai, Soy Milk and Peach Red Tea! Don’t settle for just the one delicious drink during your shopping escapades. Follow that aromatic trail and go café hopping. Plus, there’s no reason you can’t still drink healthy. Remember to choose beverages with the less sugar option.
Up The Move This Lunar New Year
Pineapple tarts and love letters aside, there’ll be lots of visiting and spring cleaning to do! Don’t forget: keeping the weight off is easier when you move more.
Festive Moves
#1 Family spring clean
Spring cleaning is more enjoyable when it’s a group affair, so join in the cleaning. Play music while you’re at it, and turn that chore into a joy.
#2 Plan ahead
Plan a visitation route with the homes that are within the same area; that way you can just walk it!
#3 Avoid guilt-tripping
One too many tarts while visiting? Avoid that guilt-trip by taking the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can!
#4 Ready to serve
Be quick on your feet to serve your guests when they pay you a house visit. And if you’re out of drinks and ice, step up to make that run to the supermarket.
#5 Tasteful company
Hunting for new clothes is such a tradition over the Lunar New Year. Nothing beats doing it with a friend. Be that friend. Besides the chance for a walk, it’s also a great time for bonding.
