Ah, December. The month of twinkling lights, endless to-do lists, and the magical ability to turn one cookie into a dozen. Staying active during this busy season can feel like trying to juggle gift wrapping, cookie baking, and every Hallmark movie ever made. But y’all, we don’t have to choose between enjoying the holidays and moving our bodies—we can do both! 😁
Here’s the thing: exercise in December doesn’t have to look like your usual routine. (Heck, this month is anything but routine, am I right?) It’s about squeezing in movement where you can, so you feel energized for all the holiday cheer. Try a 10-minute dance party in your kitchen while the cookies bake. Take a brisk walk through the neighborhood to admire the lights. Or turn decorating the tree into a mini workout—squats to grab ornaments, anyone?
Now, before you roll your eyes and say, “Who has time for that?” let me remind you: it’s not about being perfect. It’s about progress. A little movement here, a few stretches there, and suddenly you’re feeling less stressed and more you. Bonus points if you bring the family along for the fun—turning activity into quality time is the ultimate holiday hack.
So, let’s make a pact this December: move in ways that feel good, laugh when things don’t go as planned, and remind ourselves that it’s okay to put ourselves on the priority list. Because staying active isn’t about burning off the holiday treats—it’s about having the energy to truly enjoy the season. ❤️
Your turn! What’s one fun way you’ll stay active this month? Share it in the comments—I’m always up for new ideas. 🎄
