Healthy for the Holidays Fitness Plan: Cardio

Welcome to Day 1: Healthy for the Holidays!

Today’s workout is an indoor cardio session that doesn’t require any equipment, making it easy to do in a small space at home or in your hotel if you are traveling for the season.

In our workout video below, we’ll alternate periods of higher intensity with moderate effort to help you maximize your workout time without burning out. I’ll show you both high- and low-impact options so you can make the moves work for you. Be sure to adjust as needed to meet your current fitness level.

Prefer to do your own routine? Schedule 15–20 minutes of your favorite cardio workout, and check in with us in the comments below or on social media once you are done.
