​How to Stay Active During the Holiday Season

The holiday season is filled with joy, festivities, and time with loved ones—but it can also be a whirlwind of busy schedules, chilly weather, and disrupted routines. For many, staying active becomes a challenge during this time. However, maintaining movement is essential for your physical and mental health, especially when balancing the stress of the season.

At our multidisciplinary clinic, we’re here to help you stay on track and support your health goals. Whether you’re juggling holiday errands or simply need guidance, we’ve got you covered.

Creative Ways to Stay Active

1. Incorporate Fitness Into Holiday Activities
   • Make holiday traditions active! Take a brisk walk to admire holiday lights, plan a family hike, or turn decorating the house into a mini workout.
   • Shopping? Turn it into cardio by parking farther away or power walking between stores.
2. Set Small, Realistic Goals
   • Don’t feel pressured to stick to long workout sessions. Even 10–15 minutes of stretching, yoga, or bodyweight exercises at home can make a big difference.
3. Utilize Indoor Workouts
   • Winter weather can be unpredictable, but you don’t need to leave home to stay active. Try online workout classes, dance to your favorite holiday playlist, or create a simple circuit of squats, push-ups, and planks.
4. Keep Moving While Watching Holiday Movies
   • Turn movie nights into workout sessions by doing stretches, yoga poses, or even simple strength exercises during commercials or slow scenes.
5. Prioritize Physical Activity With Family and Friends
   • Plan group activities that involve movement, such as ice skating, sledding, or a friendly game of touch football.
6. Stay Warm and Motivated Outdoors
   • If you enjoy being outside, dress in layers and take advantage of winter sports like snowshoeing or skiing, or simply go for a walk in the crisp air.
