During the holidays, many of our clients ask complain about the lack of time to get to the gym due to increased work hours, travel time to and from the homes of family and friends and holiday parties and get togethers. Instead of using up precious time worrying about where to go to get a workout in, we've created a quick 20-30minute plan that can be done anywhere, anytime with minimal or no equipment. Here's a great way to boost your energy, burn excess calories from too much eggnog and distress over the traffic you're bound to run into during your holiday travel.

Perform each exercise in succession. When you reach the bottom rest for one minute. Then go back to the top and repeat! This circuit can be done 2-3 times depending on how much time you have before mom calls you to dinner!
