Holidays vs Every Day

With the end of the year and holiday season approaching, it’s easy to slack on your daily exercise routine. The key to staying active is to commit to small and consistent choices.

Daily Exercise Hack

A workout doesn’t have to be an hour at the gym. Consider a redefined session consisting of a 5 min stretch, 10 min walk, and a 15 min full-body weight training circuit. This eliminates excuses to skip the gym.

Workout Appointment

You calendar all your doctor and vendor appointments, why not treat your workout session the same way? Your commitment to maintaining your physical and mental health carries great importance.

Improvise

During holiday travels, it’s not always possible to get to a gym, so get creative and use what you have. Simple exercises like squats, planks, push-ups, lunges and especially walking can work anywhere.

Balance

Consistency is key. Your daily workouts are a way for you to set yourself up for success, and don’t you need the energy and sustenance to even enjoy all those festivities?

Bottom Line

Staying active is possible with intentional and consistent choices that ultimately support your holiday well-being. So while everyone else is sleeping off that second cup of eggnog, show up for that workout session with yourself.
