The holidays can be enjoyable, but they are also filled with extra activities and stress.

Finding time to work out is sometimes impossible, but in reality, it’s the best thing you can do for yourself.

You don’t have to invest an hour in order to reap the benefits of being active. Numerous studies have shown that 10-minute bouts of activity can increase your muscular strength and cardiovascular fitness.

If a busy holiday season is looming, try out some of these quick workouts. You can do the five-minute workouts below once or repeat them multiple times for a 20 or 25-minute workout. I’m also including a full-body 20-minute workout below.

You can do all of these from the comfort of your home, and equipment isn’t needed.

If you need modifications or have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
