Let's be honest: it's ridiculously busy right now, and I know I'm not the only one who feels it. Every time I sit down to relax, I remember a work to-do that needs to be ticked off before the end of the year, present that needs to be wrapped, or house chore that can't wait until 2024. That's why, despite being a Health Editor, I'm normally vehemently anti any form of Christmas workout challenge.
Not sure you follow? Well, during an already heightened time of stress for many, adding yet more to-do's to your list (which you'll inevitably feel guilty about if you don't get done), in my opinion, isn't the best approach. Working out is meant to be about boosting your health and mood, not guilt or shame. And while a couple of missed workouts won't make a difference to your fitness levels, you're bound to remember skipping family events or social occasions in favour of a workout for a long time.
