The holidays are upon us and that means travel, holiday parties (and the unhealthy food that accompanies them), and additional time commitments (shopping, family time, etc). While this is a much-needed break in the year and time for celebration, it can wreak havoc on your fitness. Fear not though because it doesn’t take too much to hold on to your hard earned fitness. You can hold on to your fitness levels with as little as an hour a week. Here are some suggestions on short workouts that you can do with minimal to no equipment and easily fit in to your schedule. Most of the workouts can be done in under 20 minutes. In fact, some take less than 5 minutes. I’d suggest switching them up and trying to fit at least 3 of these short workouts in a week if you’re away from Athletic Lab’s Cary CrossFit.
