The holidays are a particularly stressful time, and fitting in time to get ripped can be difficult. If you can make the effort, however, exercising can potentially make the holidays go a lot smoother. Recently, the Winnipeg Free Press discussed some of the benefits of working out during this time of year.
"Physical activity can help you feel better," said Jen Chapman, president of the Ontario Kinesiology Association, quoted by the news source. "Even mild exercise can increase self-confidence, improve your sleep, help you unwind and clear your head and give you a sense of control over your body and life."
The Press suggested trying relaxation exercises such as tensing each muscle for about five seconds, then rest for 30 seconds and move to the next one. This will relieve stress and help you work your muscles.
WebMD said that the first thing you should do when trying to exercise during the holidays is avoid squeezing in extraneous tasks and think about what you can take out. For example, if you usually take classes at a certain time, consider replacing them with a quick walk.
