Are you eager to get started on a workout program in the new year, but not quite ready to dive in full force yet?


Here's ANOTHER short and sweet bodyweight program to help you stay active as you get your new year started, and prepare for a more intense routine later in January. It's designed to be quick and effective, taking only 15 minutes. Feel free to alternate days of the "Quickie" workouts- doing each 2-3x per week if you can!


This workout is ideal for the holiday season for several reasons:

  • Time-Efficient: With only 15 minutes, it's easy to fit into a busy holiday schedule, making it more likely that you'll stay consistent.

  • No Equipment Needed: Requires only your body weight, eliminating the need for equipment during a time when access to a gym may be limited.

  • Full-Body Engagement: Targets major muscle groups, providing a well-rounded workout to maintain strength and fitness.

  • Cardio Boost: Incorporates a few dynamic exercises to elevate your heart rate, promoting cardiovascular health.

  • Adaptable Frequency: Can be done 3 times a week for a structured routine or daily for those seeking a daily energy boost, accommodating various fitness levels and goals.

  • Stress Relief: Exercise is a natural stress reliever, helping you manage the potential stress associated with the holiday season.


This short, bodyweight workout is a practical, efficient, and accessible way to stay active, ensuring you maintain your fitness momentum during the holiday season and set a positive tone for the upcoming year.
