Stay fit during the holidays

It’s holiday time, and maintaining your fitness can be a challenge with all the hustle and bustle of the season. Get your workout routine in the “holiday spirit,” and jump-start your New Year’s fitness resolutions with these tips:

  • Use HPRC’s home-exercise hacks to get a quick workout in—without leaving your home! And you can use common household items to make things even more challenging.
  • Need to get out of the house and away from the family frenzy? Make sure you’re prepared for exercise in colder temperatures.
  • Social support is an important tool for not only fitness, but also for the holidays. Find a good workout partner—whether it’s your dog, your friend, or a loved one. Who’s got your six?
  • Take Guard Your Health’s 12 DAYS OF FITMAS challenge! For 12 days, commit to doing one of their recommended exercises daily. Or if you’re feeling bold, turn this into a high-intensity interval workout: Do each exercise for 30–45 seconds, followed by a 10-second rest.
