Keep your energy high and your stress-levels low with the gift of regular exercise and self-care practice throughout the holidays. We've put together a list of suggestions and designed a Health & FITmas Calendar to help you track your activity during December. You can download and print your calendar and the Health & FITmas instructions below. And we suggest putting your calendar and our suggestions on your dresser, fridge, or desk, as a reminder to take a few minutes a day to de-stress and re-energize.
