The first of many holidays is coming up and obviously, I can’t wait. But one thing I’m not great about doing during the holidays is exercising. This isn’t that big of a deal, in my opinion, since I usually have a lot going on, but all of those Christmas cookies can start to add up…

So without carving out hours and hours at the gym, here are a few ways you can stay active, wherever the Holidays take you.

Staying Active over the Holidays

1. Go shopping. No money to spend? Window shopping will do. Put on some comfy shoes and take a walk around the mall. If you’re not truly shopping, see if you can pick up the pace! (Warning: this is not recommended on black Friday… you might get stuck in the crowds!)

2. Offer to help. Did you know that vacuuming can burn burn almost 100 calories in just half an hour. So why not help out the family and offer to tidy up? Be the designated grocery shopper on Thanksgiving. There is always that one thing that has to be picked up at the last minute. Get out there and go!

3. Squeeze in mini-workouts. No gym? Couldn’t pack hand weights? Here are a few workout videos that don’t require anything except body weight! (You could even do these barefoot, if you didn’t have room in your suitcase for tennis shoes!)

Now go enjoy a relaxing week with family and friends!
