The holidays are a joyful time packed with family gatherings, delicious food, and perhaps some travel. Obviously these moments are so important, but they can sometimes disrupt our regular fitness routines. But fear not! With a little planning and creativity, you can stay active and healthy without sacrificing holiday fun. Let’s chat about some fun and easy options:
Virtual Training: All of the trainers at Live Fit are happy to offer Zoom or online workouts! So never miss a workout due to travel or family plans, workouts can be done in a hotel gym or outside with little to no equipment! Your trainer is creative and can find unique was to workout regardless of the location.
Family Fun Workouts: The holidays mean extra family/kid time so why not turn holiday family time into an opportunity for fitness by involving the kids in some fun, active play! Try any or all of these options:
Dance Parties
Outdoor Adventures
Playground Workouts
Quick Workouts: When time is of the essence, a 10 minute workout can work wonders for not only your body but also your mind! Try one of these workouts:
Tabata Routine: Choose four exercises—such as jumping jacks, push-ups, squats, and burpees—and perform each for 20 seconds with a 10-second rest in between. Repeat the cycle twice.
Core Blast: Perform a series of 30-second planks, including front planks and side planks on each side, to engage and strengthen your core.
Travel-Friendly Circuit: Pack small weights or resistance bands to do curls, tricep extensions, and shoulder presses for a quick upper body workout. No equipment? Bodyweight exercises like push-ups and tricep dips work fine, too.
Staying active during the holidays and while traveling doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Remember, it’s all about balance and making the most of the time you have. Happy holidays and safe travels! 🌟
