The holidays bring joy, but they also bring packed schedules, extra commitments, and plenty of stress. One of the simplest and most effective ways to manage it is by moving your body. A little sweat goes a long way in helping you stay grounded during the busiest time of the year.
Even a short workout can help lower stress hormones and boost endorphins. You don’t need an hour-long session—just 10–15 minutes of squats, push-ups, burpees, or lunges is enough to clear your head and release tension.
Holiday schedules are unpredictable, which makes quick CrossFit-style workouts perfect. A fast AMRAP or EMOM keeps your fitness up and helps you reset mentally without rearranging your entire day.
When the season feels overwhelming, movement can serve as a break. A walk, a little stretching, or a simple bodyweight circuit helps you slow down, breathe, and recharge so you can show up better for everything else.
Training with others brings accountability and energy. Even one class a week, or a quick session with a friend, can lift your mood and keep stress in check.
Movement is one of the best tools for managing holiday stress. Keep it simple, stay consistent, and use each workout—no matter how short—to help you feel calmer and more in control through the season.
