The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and reflection. It’s also a period when many people reevaluate their health—looking ahead to set new goals or reflecting on the past year’s progress. However, with busy schedules, social gatherings, and endless to-do lists, it’s easy for exercise to slip off the priority list.
For many, the holidays can feel like a whirlwind, making it tempting to push aside activities that don’t seem urgent, like exercise. But staying active during this time is crucial—not just for maintaining physical health, but also for managing stress and staying energized.
When I first started my journey to better health, I adopted a mindset that made all the difference: “Exercise has to be a non-negotiable part of my day—just like doing laundry or washing the dishes. It’s not optional.” This simple shift in thinking helped me prioritize exercise, even during the busiest times, and kept me consistent.
If you’re someone who loves the gym but can’t seem to make it there during the holidays, don’t worry. There are other options! A brisk walk can be just as effective. When I walked for exercise, I would pick a pace where talking became difficult—that was my sweet spot for breaking a sweat and getting a solid workout.
The key is to stay flexible and find ways to incorporate movement into your day, no matter how hectic things get.
