Your Do-Anywhere Workout

BEING CHEERY AND PRESENT FOR THE IN-LAWS over the holidays—after powering through a long drive or navigating packed airports—can be exhausting. So adding exercise into the mix may feel impossible. But a short, energizing sweat sesh might be just what you need to reset your body and mind.

“Just 10 minutes of movement can improve circulation, boost energy, and lower stress and may help you adjust to jet lag,” says certified personal trainer Amy Schlinger, NASM-CPT. We asked her to create a full-body workout that could be done in that time frame.

This circuit targets all major muscle groups, provides a hit of cardio, and requires only one easy-to-pack resistance band. Do it anywhere—in your childhood bedroom, at a hotel, even at the airport during a layover. Happy holidays to you— now let’s get to it!

Perform this full-body circuit, resting for 45 seconds after each exercise. If you have time for more rounds, repeat the entire circuit once or twice more, resting for 2 minutes between circuits.

JUMPING JACKS

What it works: Arms, legs, heart

1. Stand with feet together, arms at your sides.

2. Jump your legs open as you raise your arms out to the sides and over your head; your hands should almost meet at the top as your feet land wide on the ground.

3. Jump your legs back together as you bring your arms back down.

4. Repeat for 30 seconds.

Take a Breather - Follow along to increase your peace.

With so much hustle and bustle packed into just a couple of short months, this time of year can feel overwhelming-but you can tame the pandemonium and focus on joy with a little bit of quiet "me time" spent meditating. "Taking a few moments to ground yourself, find your center, and reconnect with the present can make all the difference in calming the chaos," says Lindsey Benoit O'Connell, a certified meditation teacher and founder of The LAB Wellness. We asked her to write a quick guided meditation just for you.
