Health and Diet
Giving gifts during the holidays? Don't forget the most important person… YOU! Take time out for yourself this holiday season! Schedule some private time to window shop, sleep late, or take a long walk. You deserve it! Sometimes the best gift is one we can give ourselves. By taking some time out for YOU, you can avoid holiday stress and enjoy the important things like friends and family!

Fitness
Just say YES. Procrastination is the thief of opportunity. Putting your exercise and diet off another day is not going to help you one bit. If you aren't already exercising, start today. Stop by the gym on the way home. Get a 15-minute walk in tonight before dinner. It’s your choice. Just make up your mind to start.

Health and Diet
You probably already know that vitamin A is important for preventing night blindness. But did you know Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is also important to maintain normal vision? Foods high in vitamin A include: sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, squash, cantaloupe, mangoes and papayas. Riboflavin can be found in milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, meat, green leafy vegetables, whole-grain or enriched breads and cereals.

Fitness
It’s worth the wait with weights. For muscle and strength gains, many people wait anywhere from 1-3 minutes between sets. A more efficient way is to vary rest time between exercises. If you’re working chest, perform barbell incline chest press with a weight that allows you to lift eight reps per set, taking two minutes between sets. Then, go to a dumbbell chest press and use a rep scheme of 10-12 -- waiting one minute between sets.
