Proper exercise can help
ease tension of Christmas

he holidays are
upon us and with it
the excitement, fun
and all too often, the
tension of seasonal
demands. Between shop-

formal footwear

ne of the most in-

teresting formal

footwear trends

for the holiday
season is Western boots. Ac-
cording to fashion trend set-
ters, holiday partygoers who
want to dress in the latest
black-tie and formal
fashions should look to the
classic Western boot to add
flair to the season’s dress-up
attire.

For men, the tuxedo is still
standard formal attire. A pair of
elegant black lizard skin boots is
recommended to add a flash of
individuality to the standard
tux.

Many women are wearing
fitted tuxedo jackets paired with
chiffon slacks and silk suits to
formal affairs. The Western boot
in colored lizard is the perfect
accent to this bold fashion state-
ment.

Women shouldn’t limit their
boots to pant suits.

Q Ze

exactly the reverse of the some _

of the common stress responses.
The extra energy boost from a
well designed workout can add
more vigor to your holiday
season, giving you the stamina
to make it through the action-
packed days of December.

Whether interested in the -

short-term effects ofa workout bod

in reducing your daily anxiety or
the long-term effects of'training
to make your body better able to
counter the stress before it
builds up, exercising during the
holidays will help:

ping, parties, office func-
tions and community
eyents, it's easy to leave
commitment to exercise be-
hind in the wake of the
season’s jubilation.

When you feel stressed, you
are reacting to the world around
you and your body prepares it-
self to deal with the cause. Your
heart rate and blood pressure

increase, muscles tighten, and
you have backache and
headaches. Related emotional
tensions such as irritability,
anger and depression often fol-
low.

Exactly how physical exercise
relieves stress is not completely
understood. But reduced heart
rate and blood pressure, in-
creased flexibility and reduced
muscles tension are the benefits
