We are in the midst of the holiday season. Family gatherings, office parties, shows, and lots of food can be exciting, but it can be a very hard and stressful time to workout and stay active.

Exercise is one of the things that can be pushed aside anytime there’s a change to your usual schedule. Sticking to some type of modified exercise plan during the holidays is better than skipping exercise all together. You can still preserve the fitness level you have worked up to the whole year even if you spend less time working out by incorporating high intensity interval training several times per week.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) can be short, but it is very effective and causes you to burn calories after the workout is finished by raising the metabolic rate. Warming up for about 15 minutes and then 10 min of high intensity interval training followed by a cool down several times a week will do the trick!

Let me help you understand the exercises your body needs to help reach your goals in a progressive and safe way.

Happy holidays!
