Fitness expert Jeanette Jenkins chats with Essence Magazine on how to get your body right this Christmas!

Schedule your workout in the morning, even if you’re on vacation with family. Get your day started by getting your endorphins up. Since most the holiday celebrations happen in the evening, make sure you have a healthy breakfast with eggs and green vegetables for protein and fiber. Or try a green juice made of spinach, apple, lemon and a little ginger. It’s good for your immunity system and helps decrease risk of getting sick.

Also, get your family and friends involved. Do active things with them. Get everyone to go bowling, ice skating, or even get them dancing in the house. Put on some music and get everyone to do the family Soul Train line. Play the Wii video games or play touch football outside. Keep it fun!
