Shorter, colder days don’t have to mean that you move less. Staying active will help you maintain strength, balance, and overall health.

When considering outdoor activities like walking, try to plan for a time of day that still provides sunlight. Get up a few minutes earlier for a quick walk before work or use part of your lunch break to get outside. Be sure to dress in layers to stay warm and comfortable, and wear slip-resistant shoes.

If you go for a walk or run at night, stay on a well-lit path, wear reflective clothing, and consider carrying a light with you. A pet or friend also may provide extra motivation and safety for a nighttime stroll.

If you prefer working out indoors, however, create a small workout space in your house or considering joining a gym or group fitness class. Throughout the day, take stairs or short indoor walks. Do gentle stretches or squats while waiting for coffee or meals. Schedule short activity breaks throughout the day.

‘Tis the season for celebrating and decorating, but it’s also when home-related accidents rise. Each year, thousands of individuals visit emergency rooms for preventable injuries that can be avoided with some simple safety tips:

• Inspect ladders before use. Place on level ground, wear slip-resistant shoes, and avoid overreaching or standing on the top step.
• Keep fresh trees watered and away from heat, or use fire-resistant artificial trees. Check tree lights for damage, choose UL-approved strands, and unplug decorations before bedtime or when leaving home.
• Keep decorations, cords, and candles out of reach of children and pets. Secure walkways, and use clips instead of nails for hanging lights.

By staying mindful, you can enjoy the holidays while keeping you, your family, and your home safe.
