This time of year is intended to be full of joy and happiness, right?

Unfortunately, the holiday season can instead leave many of us feeling stressed out, tired and a bit like saying “bah-humbug” when we think about our health.

Our schedules are packed, it seems like it’s always dark outside, and it can seem downright impossible to avoid sugary treats – which taste great but leave us in a low-blood-sugar slumber.

So, what’s the cure for holiday season malaise?

Get Moving!

We want to help you get off the couch and get your energy back. And to make it simple, we created a fun, free and festive 12 Days of Christmas Workout just for you.

This quick and effective workout is perfect if you don’t have a lot of time, and this is an awesome routine that you and your spouse can do together to crank up the joy in your marriage.

Heck, if the kids need to take a break from video games and get some energy out while on Christmas break, they can join in, too!
