Adding in holiday cheer on top of our daily regimen can make it also one of the busiest times of the year!  The greatest gift you can give is the gift of devoting time to your own wellness, whether that is through quiet/peaceful time or devoting time to improving your health through exercise.Carving out the time can be challenging, but it always proves beneficial once you do. If you are motivated to put intentions into action, which of the overwhelming number of fitness options should you choose? You want to make the most of your time when you commit to exercise, so finding a specific program or combination of programs that will give you the maximum return for your time isa must!
