Maintaining physical activity during the holidays can help offset the extra calories and keep your energy levels up. Exercise also helps lower stress and as everyone knows, the holidays are stressful. Holiday exercise can also be tough as the temperatures drop, and outdoor exercise options dwindle. Here are a few tips to stay active this season. Incorporate Mini Workouts: If your schedule is packed, try short, high-intensity workouts or yoga sessions at home. Any Movement is Better than None: Even if you don’t have time for a long hard workout, taking a short 15-minute walk or doing a short ab workout is always better than not doing any exercise. Make Movement a Family Affair: Organize a group hike, play a game of touch football, or take a family walk after a big meal. Incorporating exercise into the holiday and doing it as a group can make it easy and fun. Use Technology: If you don’t have time to go to the gym, utilize free workout videos to get some exercise in without having to leave your home.
