Greetings!
AmberThe holidays are upon us, and along with the much-anticipated celebrations comes a higher physical demand on your body.

The strain of shopping, attending social gatherings and preparing holiday meals can wear you out.  Exhaustion leads to increased stress, so you may find yourself in the midst of a vicious cycle.  During this hectic time, exercise and sleep - both good antidotes for stress and fatigue - often take a back seat to chores and errands. 

High demands on your time, stress, lack of exercise, and overindulgence in food and drink are all ingredients for starting you down the wrong path for the new year.

So, what can you do differently?

Take a step back, focus on those things that are most important (including your health), and let yourself off the hook for not being perfect. 

Happy Hannukah & Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Amber

Watch Out for Extra Calories While Shopping

As tempting as it may be, try not to use the overcrowded shopping center food court as a refuge during this season's shopping frenzy. You'll regret those added pounds come January 1st!

Tip: Don't "window shop" in the food court.
To prevent yourself from a craving, don't walk up and "take a look." If you are easily tempted by the sights and smells of particular food stands, plan your route around the mall so that you can avoid these stands. Head straight for the stands that offer the best choices, and don't browse at the rest.

Fit Tip of the Month
Add Pilates to Your Fitness Routine

Amber
Named after its German inventor, Joseph H. Pilates (pi-LAH-teez), a boxer and dancer who also studied yoga and Zen meditation, the pilates technique encompasses more than 500 controlled, precise movements designed to stretch and strengthen the muscles without adding bulk.  The exercises require concentration - working the body and mind simultaneously.  During private pilates sessions, you will focus on "core" muscles - the abdomen, back, and buttocks - together with deep, coordinated breathing. Correct posture and lower risk of injury are just two benefits of the regimen.

Some of the reasons to consider Cafe Physique pilates sessions:

1. Privacy
2. Personal attention to your individual needs
3. Focus on specific therapeutic benefits
4. Convenience of lesson times made by appointment

Since pilates lends itself perfectly to being learned with a partner or friend, semi-private pilates sessions are also offered for small groups of 2 or 3.  Enlist family members or neighbors to join you on this healthy living journey.  Find Out More

Sponsor-a-Session:  Community Service

Amber Do you have the desire to give back but lack the free time to make it happen?  What do you get for the fitness buff who already has it all?  Well, we have you covered.  For $35.00 each,you can sponsor one or more free exercise classes for the Atlanta non-profit organization of your choice. The donation covers the cost of paying the instructor and exercise bands for the participants to keep so they can continue the new workout on their own. 

If you don't know who to choose, we'll give you suggestions of battered women's shelters, youth programs and other organizations that would value and enjoy a great calorie-burning cardio class or relaxing pilates session.  So whether you're looking for a creative gift idea for someone else (donate a session in their name) or want to make your own healthy donation this holiday season, contact us today to purchase a tax-deductible session for those in need.  You, or your gift recipient, will receive a personalized letter indicating when and where your session was used.
