Be careful of food and unhealthy living during the  holidays. How many times have you heard that said? For every treat and sweet, there is plenty of advice on how to moderate or avoid them. For every couch potato moment, there’s a workout promoted to counteract it.

 

But what if you could maintain your health and fitness without prime focus on calorie count and deprivation?
