Reducing Stress with Exercise
The holiday season can really take a toll on both our mental and physical well-being. During the chilly winter months, we often find ourselves craving rich foods and sugary treats, while also being less active than usual. With all the festive gatherings and the need to stay cozy indoors, it’s easy to let our fitness routines slide. However, incorporating just 10 minutes of exercise into your daily routine can be a great way to alleviate stress. By doing this, you can kick off the New Year feeling more relaxed and better overall.
