One of the most commonly asked fitness questions around this time of the year is, ‘how do I stay on track during the holidays?’

Well, I would have two general answers for that.

First, don’t beat yourself up about it. All the MINT members I know are working hard every day; at the office, the gym, daily lives. So, allowing your body (and mind) to rest and recover while enjoying the holidays isn’t a bad thing!

Secondly, don’t go into the holidays with an ‘all or nothing’ mentality. Don’t think that since you can’t make it to an hour of Power Playground, there is no point in working out. Just getting up and moving, like taking a walk after a meal will benefit you.

So, I’ve written this blog post for those with the motivation to shake off that food coma and get in a workout with my ‘Take PlyoFit Home With You’ workout that is modeled after my Monday night PlyoFit class, accommodated for at home with no equipment.

Below are 3 circuits, complete each circuit two times through – and stick to the appropriate rest times, get that heart rate up!
