You might be staying somewhere different, with no access to a gym. Maybe your yoga studio is closed or social sport is on a break. Or you might just be too flat out with social events to find the time.<\/p>\n<p>For some people, a break from pushing their bodies will be exactly what they need.<\/p>\n<p>But others will want to keep up the fitness and strength they\u2019ve been working on throughout the year \u2013 and some will crave the mental release.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some low-equipment, time-efficient strategies to keep you exercising through the break.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Staying fit<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you want to stay fit over the festive season,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/jebm.12596\">walking<\/a>\u00a0can be an easy and effective low-impact way to keep enjoying the health benefits of cardio exercise.<\/p>\n<p>But how much should you walk? The more steps you take each day, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/S2468-2667(21)00302-9\">lower your risk<\/a>\u00a0of dying early, from any cause.<\/p>\n<p>For adults 60 years and older, the benefits plateau around 6,000\u20138,000 steps a day, and for those under 60, at 8,000\u201310,000 steps. So these are good to aim for.<\/p>\n<p>But people who run a lot or play a sport may be trying to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1519\/JSC.0000000000003964\">maintain<\/a>\u00a0a higher level of cardio fitness over the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>So, say you have been including brisk walks, running or high-intensity interval training into your routine.<\/p>\n<p>You can reduce the number of sessions (for example, from five to two sessions a week) and\/or how long they last (for example, from 40 minutes down to 20 minutes).<\/p>\n<p>But to maintain your fitness, it\u2019s key to push to the same intensity as normal when you do train.<\/p>\n<p>You can also try\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/sms.70114\">cardio exercise snacks<\/a>. These are short, high-intensity workouts, typically less than ten minutes. But they\u2019ve been shown to enhance cardio fitness.<\/p>\n<p>There is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jsams.2019.01.013\">evidence<\/a>\u00a0even five minutes or less of high-intensity interval training \u2013 where you work hard for 30 seconds and then rest for 30 seconds \u2013 can still improve cardio fitness.<\/p>\n<p>Another\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s41467-025-65754-4\">recent study<\/a>\u00a0found one minute of vigorous physical activity has the same health benefits as 4\u20139 minutes of moderate activity, and up to 153 minutes of light exercise.<\/p>\n<p>So even a tiny \u201csnack\u201d is worth doing, if you\u2019re able to exercise at a high intensity.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Keeping strong<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For those who want to build or maintain muscle strength, small bouts of body weight training can work as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s40279-021-01605-8\">resistance exercise snacks<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a similar idea to cardio snacks.<\/p>\n<p>These involve using your body for resistance rather than gym equipment. So they are lower intensity, but you do them more often (most days or even every day).<\/p>\n<p>A suggested\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s40279-021-01605-8\">approach<\/a>: do just 1-2 exercises per muscle group and 1\u20132 sets per exercise. Do this for up to 15 minutes at a time, in five to seven sessions a week.<\/p>\n<p>Below is an example workout which can be completed as a circuit at home or the local park.
