Too busy to go to the gym? Even a few minutes of exercise counts, and here’s how to get it done.
The holidays are notoriously busy, between shopping, parties, family gatherings and year-end work deadlines. When every minute feels spoken for, the idea of heading to the gym might feel like too much, but you don’t need to carve out an hour or leave your house to stay active. Instead, you can squeeze in short, effective workouts right in your living room or even while preparing holiday meals.
Quick bursts of movement can do wonders for your body and your mind. They boost your energy, lift your mood and help offset some of those extra holiday treats. And all you need to get them done is a few minutes and a willingness to move. Whether you have five minutes before guests arrive or ten minutes between baking batches of cookies, you can fit in a workout that keeps you feeling strong, flexible and less stressed.
