Holiday Schedule for Fitness Centers in Tucson

It seems 'Holiday Festivities' equates to: nibbling on sugary treats, consuming enormous extra helpings, salivating from decadent calorie-laden deserts, excessive snacking, extra stress and limited time for the local fitness center. As evidenced by my expanding waistline, I've managed to gobble my way through 52 holiday seasons. This year instead of lounging half comatose on the couch from the "festivities", I hope you'll join me for a workout at one of our local fitness centers to help ward off holiday weight gain. Here's a holiday schedule for some of the fitness centers in Tucson.

According to Carlos at Bally's Total Fitness, the average person consumes between 6 and 8 thousand calories at Thanksgiving dinner. Celebration of gratitude is one thing but that smacks of gluttony. This holiday season proactively prepare your exercise plan and practice moderation - you'll be thankful for your healthy holiday festivities.
