The holiday season is the most magical time of the year, but there’s no denying it can be pretty stressful. It takes a lot of time to get ready for the big day and buy gifts for everyone, and you might notice that all the planning is disrupting your workout routine. If you reach that point, our brief guide will help you stay motivated to hit the gym in the midst of the holiday rush.
Keep it Short
Even if you don’t have a full hour to set aside for your workouts, there’s nothing stopping you from keeping things short. Working out for 10 or 20 minutes is better than nothing, especially if you’re so busy you can’t put any more time aside.
Fun Activities
Hitting the gym isn’t the only way to stay active during the holiday season. There are many other fun activities that can keep you on the move, from going on family walks to ice skating and sledding if the weather allows it.
Perfect Timing
If you’re waiting to be in a good mood to work out, chances are you’ll never do it. Sticking to the schedule is a much more effective strategy, no matter what time of the year it is.
Festive Playlist
Instead of using holidays as an excuse not to hit the gym, it’s time to use them to your advantage. Add some Christmas songs to your workout playlist and get to work or try one of countless holiday workout videos on YouTube.
