Get your Exercise Mood Boost

I had a great thanksgiving weekend. On Saturday, I visited my sister on the island and consumed a wonderful turkey dinner (with potatoes and butter, brussels sprouts, and butter, stuffing - need I say more). And last night I ate a vegan thanksgiving dinner with tofu turkey, amazing stuffing, roasted vegetables and more. I enjoyed every minute of it and today, I will exercise and get back into the groove of healthy eating and living. How do I do it? Easy, I head to the outdoors.

Research shows that as little as 5 minutes of outdoor physical activity improves mood and self-esteem. What can you do in 5 minutes?

. Get out of the ofice and head to the closest greenery or open sky
. Cue up a favorite song on your mp3 player and walk or jog around the block
. Take your dog outside to play (and chase the toy yourself)
. Do a bit of work in your yard or garden
. Step outside for some fresh air and do a few simple stretches
. Challenge your kids (or coworkers) to a race or game in the backyard or local park
