Too Busy for Fitness? Here’s How to Keep Moving This December 💪🎄

How to Keep Moving When Life Gets Busy This December 🎄✨

December is here, and with it comes the festive chaos—Christmas shopping, work deadlines, family events, and social gatherings galore. It’s the time of year where we’re stretched thin, and often, the first thing to drop off the to-do list is our workouts. But here’s the thing: staying active during this busy season doesn’t just help you feel stronger—it helps you stay energised, de-stressed, and ready to tackle everything on your festive agenda.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry! Here’s your simple, no-nonsense guide to keeping movement in your life this December, even when things feel hectic.

1. Prioritise Short, Effective Workouts

You don’t need hours in the gym to feel strong and accomplished. Quick and intentional workouts are your secret weapon this December. That’s why we’ve created the Busy Girl 2-Day Split, designed to give you a full-body workout in just two sessions a week.

Here’s a sneak peek - (we'll launch it on the app later this week ;) )

Day 1: Full Body Push
Day 2: Full Body Pull
Each session is efficient (under 30 minutes), empowering, and leaves you feeling energised—not drained. All you'll need is a set of dumbbells.

Remember, it’s not about doing everything; it’s about doing something. Even 15 minutes of movement makes a difference!

2. Make Classes Your Time to Recharge

When life feels overwhelming, one of the easiest ways to stay consistent is to book a class. Think of it as a non-negotiable appointment for yourself. No planning, no overthinking—just show up, move your body, and enjoy the positive energy of a group setting.

At Elevate Studio, our classes are designed for busy women who need a boost:

Strength classes to leave you feeling strong and accomplished.
High-energy sessions to clear your mind and lift your mood.
Relaxing mobility or stretch sessions to recover and reset.

Plus, December is the perfect time to try something new. Bring a friend along this month—they join for FREE! Because workouts are always better with company, right?

3. Get Your Movement in Wherever You Can

Consistency is the key. Even if you can’t make it to the gym or your usual workout routine, there are so many ways to stay active:

Sneak in a quick home workout (like the 2-day split or an on-demand video).
Go for a 10-minute walk to clear your mind.
Turn errands into exercise—park further away or take the stairs.

Every little bit counts, and moving your body regularly will help you feel more in control when life gets hectic.

4. Don’t Aim for Perfection—Aim for Progress

This time of year isn’t about rigid goals or intense routines. It’s about doing your best to show up for yourself. Give yourself grace, and remember: small wins add up. Whether it’s a class, a short workout, or a walk, everything you do is a step toward feeling good, both physically and mentally.

5. End the Year Feeling Strong, Not Stressed

It’s easy to feel like workouts are just another thing to tick off your endless to-do list, but they’re so much more than that. Moving your body helps boost your energy, improves your sleep, and lets you show up as your best self—for you and everyone around you.

So, let’s make December about finding balance. Prioritise movement that feels good, keep it simple, and remember that even small efforts can have a big impact.
