  • Five fitness tips for Black Friday and beyond

    The holidays are a time to celebrate — with food, family, and shopping. And even if you’re trying to take good care of yourself, you can still enjoy your favorite traditions. MultiCare dietitians have assembled these tips to help you make the most of your Black Friday shopping trips, and prepare for the rest of the holiday season.

    • Park far away from store entrances – get those steps in where you can!
    • Take the stairs whenever possible
    • Stay active even while watching tv by doing some light stretching or marching in place
    • Manage holiday stress by taking a yoga class or practicing deep breathing exercises
    • Be sure to get plenty of sleep – make it a goal to get 7-8 hours a night
