PhysicallyFIT Merry Fitness and A Nutrition New Year! By Kim Garrison It’s here. That right, the official holiday season is just around the corner. For almost five straight months during the winter season there’s non stop celebrating starting with Halloween, followed by Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, New Years, and then Valentine’s Day. While all that celebrating is loads of fun, it often times comes with a heavy price, in the way of unwanted gifts - EXTRA POUNDS! That’s why, this year, I’m offering a holiday season preemptive strike. That’s right, get those New Years Resolution’s out of the closet right now, along with your skinny jeans, that little black dress, and the itsy bitsy bikini - anything to keep you motivated and focussed on your goal...you know, avoiding those unwanted gifts.

The gym, the park, your living room, your bedroom, it’s not the location that matters. Fitness is cumulative and it all adds up. Lick those Bad Habits - Lick your old bad eating habits right now. Don’t fool yourself. Don’t think miniature candy won’t hurt. Miniature candy is small in stature, but oh does it pack a wallop of calories. The average calories in the “fun size” snickers, health bar, or butter finger is about 80 calories. I could put away about 3 fun sizes in about three minutes. That’s close to 300 calories, or to put it another way, about an 45 minutes of 32 I <strong>PhillyFIT</strong> November/December I 215-396-0268 I www.phillyfit.com Small Steps = Big Success. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither were you. Whether your goal is to put on 5 to 10 pounds of muscle or to shed 5 or 50 pounds of fat - take your time. Don’t expect to lose 50 pounds in five weeks. You will surely lose that battle and only end up frustrated and tired. What you want to do is take small manageable steps, like com-
