Here come the Holidays. Good solace food and heaps of favorite sweets all prepared with special attention to entice us away from our glad endeavors to monitor our figures. While you are being creative in the kitchen or during other family holiday errands there are several little things you can do as you move around that will help keep your legs in shape, relax your appendages and consume off a couple of extra calories. Stop in any busy meeting and take a couple of moments to do these basic developments.

Steady yourself with your hands on the counter, stand with your feet a couple of inches apart, and rise up onto your toes. Lower your heels until they are simply above the floor and go up again. Do this 5-10 times at the outset. This can be done whenever you think of it. It will help tone and define your calves (for that pair of executioner high heels you got for that party) and improve your balance.

As yet steadying yourself, imagine you are going to sit down. Lower yourself as if to sit down, keeping your knees over your toes and then rise up. Start with 10 and add more as you come. These mini-squats will ease tension in your legs while working your quadriceps and overabundances.

Add another exercise. As you stand at the counter, lift your leg out to the side as high as you can, being careful not to strain your hip. Do this 4-5 times each side, again adding more as you become more flexible. Then lift them out to the back as high as you can, keeping the knee delicately bowed so it will not be strained.

Go sideways to the counter, stand with your heels together and toes pointed outward. Gradually lower yourself letting your knees point outward over your toes and rise up again. Do as many as you can comfortably and add more over the long haul.

These are only some basic developments that can be done any time and any where. Obviously if you don't exercise regularly, check with your Doctor and make sure he would approve. We as a whole get so busy during the Holidays, that pressure sneaks in without being taken note. These developments will help alleviate muscle pressure and consume off a couple of calories and as your muscles become a little more grounded, they will continue to consume calories in any event, when you are simply moving around normally.
