15 minute full body holiday workouts for the 50+
Exercise Program 3 of 6- De-stress

With the holidays fast approaching life can start to feel busy as well as very social with holiday dinners and drinks.  A few Vintage Fitness personal training clients here in Toronto have asked me to create a series of 15 minute full body holiday workouts that they can do even on busy days.  This is the third of six workouts which will take you right until Christmas Day.

This week it is all about distressing at a very busy time. Take 15 minutes out of holiday planning to catch your breath and calm your body and mind.
