Hot Tubs Hudson, WI – Hot Spring Spas Gives Fitness and Health Tips For the Holidays

HUDSON, Wis. - Dec. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Hudson, WI 54016 - “Creating a healthy lifestyle takes a lot of work, but over the holidays it can be a real test of will to keep it going. Everyone in the family is running around shopping, keeping up with daily chores, school and work while adding extra holiday activities into the mix,” said Connie Petersen general manager of Hot Spring Spas of Iowa.

“From Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day the weeks are full of delicious food, big parties, fun get-togethers complete with tables laden with goodies, and making smart choices can be tough,” continued Petersen. Here are three ways to stay in shape during the holidays and still have fun.

Party Smart - It’s no fun to live through the holidays feeling like a spectator. It is okay to enjoy the fun and partake in the delicious offerings, as long as it doesn’t get carried away. Keep track of the high calorie treats consumed, and pay special attention to the non-holiday meals.

Keeping a food journal is a great way to keep up with everything being consumed. There are even easy-to-use, free apps for Android and iPhones that will calculate what each food contains from calorie levels to nutrition information, and add it to a menu to keep up with limits. When making regular meals, make them extra smart, and fill up with fruits and veggies that compensate for some of the higher calorie foods eaten at parties.

Get Others Involved - Make staying fit during the holidays a family affair. Everyone can benefit from a little extra attention to diet and exercise during the high impact holidays, and having them involved will make it more enjoyable. If others in the family aren’t interested in staying fit or they live in other parts of the country, seek out community groups that have others with the same goals.

Soak Away Stress - Spend a half hour a night in a hot tub to get rid of the stress that builds up while running around all day. The relaxing heat from a hot tub is regulated to maintain the perfect temperature that will allow muscles to get the greatest benefit from the hydrotherapy. The strong, directional jets hit just the right spots to massage sore muscles and completely relax the body.

Sitting in a hot tub also provides additional exercise resources to help compensate for extra calories consumed throughout the day. Doing simple aerobic exercises in water makes them even more effective due to the resistance of the water, while making them safer because of the buoyancy that supports muscles, joints and bones. However, it isn’t even necessary to actually workout to get a workout in a hot tub.

Studies by clinical professor of the Department of Rehabilitation at the University of Washington, Bruce E. Becker, M.D. show that just sitting in the regulated heat of a hot tub is a cardiovascular workout equal to an aerobic exercise such as cycling. Along with the stress relief and calorie busting therapy, sitting in a hot tub will help everyone in the family sleep better at night, and provide year long enjoyment.
