Something that you might want to consider doing is setting your alarm for earlier than usually, especially if you plan on traveling over the holidays. If you get up before

everyone else, you can do some sit-ups next to your bed or take a jog before everyone has breakfast. At the very least, you can use your free weights to

get a few curls in or do some stretches to keep you limber.

If it looks like you’re not going to be able to get to the gym as regularly as you usually do, how about downloading an exercise app? No matter what

kind of exercising you like to do, there’s one to hold you accountable. Click here for a list of some of the best running, cycling, strength training, yoga and

bodyweight workout apps on the market.

If the holiday season doesn’t teach us anything else, it shows us how to multi-task. If the family wants you to join them in watching a movie, but with all of

the errand running and tree-trimming, you weren’t able to get your workout in? No problem. Let them pop the movie in as you run on the treadmill for about 20

minutes. Watching the film will make the time go by even faster, and it’ll be a win-win for everyone!

The holidays are a time for traditions. Create one by having the family go for a walk after dinner. If you can’t get the kids to sign up, invite your

wife. You might not be able to power walk, but walking hand in hand is pretty romantic. As a bonus, walking lowers your risk of heart disease, strengthens your bones

and muscles, increases your mood, improves your concentration and the fresh air will help to clear your lungs of toxins that come from indoor air pollution.

Speaking of romance, here’s another idea. Put on some holiday tunes and get to dancing with your spouse! Dancing is one of the most fun and effective forms of cardio there

is. Depending on the kind of dancing you decide to do, you can easily burn anywhere from 300-500 calories per hour. A nice way to stay fit if you can’t

do your regular workout routine during the holidays, don’t you think?
