Powerlady Fitness Offers Relief from Holiday Stress

As the holiday season looms, stress skyrockets in women of all ages. Pressure mounts to prepare traditional meals; buy, wrap and deliver perfect gifts; attend seasonal programs; visit relatives; spend special time with friends; look terrific and enjoy every minute! How can you do it all, ...again, ...another year?

Powerlady Fitness, in Toco Hill Shopping Center, suggests exercise as a solution to relieve stress. The fitness center offers short-term price options such as a Drop In fee of $15 for one class or $25 for a Week-long Pass. From yoga to kickboxing, exercise helps get out all the frustration and tension.

“Many women juggle an active family and a demanding full-time jog every day, so as the holidays approach, the stress really compounds,” said Mrs. Becky Brown, owner of Powerlady Fitness. “We offer not only a respite from their hectic schedules, but also exercise classes as a way to refresh both body and mind.”

Benefits of exercise throughout the holidays:

• Gives that much needed break from the world to focus on you. You can’t take care of everybody else if you don’t take care of yourself.
• Helps offset the holiday eating and drinking that is sure to happen.
• Even if the visits are less frequent and the exercise times shorter, it is important to keep the habit of exercise steady.

“I notice that if someone breaks the exercise habit, even for just a week, it is so much harder to resume the routine once life and time allows,” said Mrs. Brown. “Even exercising once or twice a week during hectic times is enough to keep the habit.”

Another benefit at Powerlady Fitness is the availability of onsite childcare. “We know that many moms need convenient, affordable childcare or they won’t be able to come,” said Mrs. Brown. “We offer daily childcare, so there’s no excuse for skipping exercise, especially during the holiday rush.”

Powerlady Fitness in Toco Hill is a full service fitness center that focuses on the needs of women seven days a week. Becky Brown is the owner and manager. For more information, a complete class schedule and hours, visit www.powerlady.com or call 404.320.0050.
