How to Stay Fit & Energized During the Holiday Rush
The holiday season moves fast in the U.S. One moment you’re carving pumpkins, and the next you’re juggling with Thanksgiving leftovers, school events, gift shopping for your loved ones, Christmas to-do lists and a social calendar that feels like a full season of holiday movies playing in just a few weeks. It’s busy but it’s fun. And yes—it can drain your energy if you’re not mindful.
But staying fit through the holiday season doesn’t have to feel like training for a marathon. With a few small habits and quick home workouts, you can keep your energy up and feel great all season long.
