Tips To Thwart Holiday Weight Gain

As the holidays advance, a feeling of fear creeps in. Not only is cash getting tighter, but your pants are, too. The cycle continuously repeats itself. Colder weather keeps you caught in the house, while the yummy holiday cooking fattens you up. Not this year! I refuse to gain those holiday pounds and you could, too. No, you do not need to sign any contracts at an expensive aerobics studio. It's possible to get a good physique without a big outlay of cash.

You might not recognize it, but exercise videos are more fun and stimulating than they were in the past.

Workout videos are also much less expensive than a health club membership or purchasing home exercise machines like a treadmill or elliptical trainer.

If the thought of investing in exercise videos reminds you of leg warmers and striped leotards, you've got some catching up to do. You're not stuck with the unexciting workout videos of the 80s and 90s any longer. Trust it or not, the same sought-after physical fitness trainers who get paid the big bucks to coach celebrities can be on call to teach you in your own house for only pennies a day.

Some of the most up-to-date fitness trends are offered on video.

Dance your way to a great waistline. Whether you choose an instructional video to instruct on proper belly dancing technique or you just like to keep fit with belly dance moves, you will find a broad selection of videos available.

Exotic Dancing:

You read that correctly. If you have ever thought it would be fun to become skilled at sexy moves, then this is for you. In the solitude and security of your own home, you will bounce and gyrate to your heart's content. I have also heard that laughter is fabulous for your abs, so you will have that taken care of as well, especially if you have a mirror in your exercise room.

Yoga or Pilates:

If you are looking for a sleek, lean body, firm core, or extra flexibility, then there are many of yoga and Pilates videos to select from. You will find yoga for adults as well as yoga videos for kids. Yes, children get stressed, too. Yoga is a great way to teach them to calm down.

Fitness videos for kids:

Often children can be the best motivation. If you put in a Sesame Street dance video and your three year old asks you to dance with Elmo, you can hardly say "no".

Once you have selected a trend of exercise video that you are interested in, set a specific time each day to "come together" with your private trainer. It is best to alternate at least two different styles of exercise (or videos) to circumvent repetitive use strains. You can do different videos each day, or alternate a walk, bike ride or another outdoor activity you like on your non-video days. As long as you are active, you are keeping those spare pounds from steadily attaching to your body.
