Balance > Perfection This Holiday Season

The holidays can feel like a full-body workout already (emotionally, logistically, sometimes literally). So if your fitness routine starts to slide, you’re not alone. The good news? Staying active doesn’t mean being perfect. It means being flexible, intentional, and a little creative. Here’s how to do it:

Say No to the “All or Nothing” Mentality

Holiday schedules are wild. Routines get weird. That doesn’t mean it’s game over. Instead of skipping the gym entirely because you can’t do your usual, do something else. A short stretch session, a 15-minute lift, or a walk with family. It all adds up.

 

 

Let Fun Be the Focus

Holidays are about connection and joy. Your workouts can be too. Ditch the pressure, invite a friend to join you, or try something new just because it looks fun. (Yes, that STUDIO class with the motivating Coach and playlist counts.) When you let fitness be fun instead of one more thing to check off your list, it feels a lot easier to stick with.

Keep a “Holiday Go-To” Workout on Deck

Write down one 15- to 20-minute workout you can do anywhere: in your living room, your in-laws’ basement, a guest room, wherever. Include a mix of bodyweight strength moves (like squats, push-ups, planks) and some cardio (jumping jacks, fast feet, mountain climbers). When your schedule’s nuts, just press play on your go-to. No decisions, no excuses.

Give Your Brain the Workout First

Reverse your routine: start with 2 minutes of deep breathing or journaling before your workout. It sounds unrelated, but grounding your mindset first makes it easier to follow through with movement. It helps you shift from “I should work out” to “I get to move.”

 

 

Recover Like You Mean It

Recovery isn’t slacking, it’s strategy. Give your body what it actually needs with a mix of movement and chill. At VASA? Step into red light therapy or the massage lounge (aka the ultimate post-lift treat). At home? Foam roll while watching a holiday movie or do a 10-minute stretch session before bed. No sweat required. Gains still delivered.

Your wellness matters. Keep showing up in small ways, give yourself a little grace, and remember: progress doesn’t pause for the holidays (and neither do we).
