The holiday season can leave us feeling drained, but incorporating stress-relieving exercises and mindful practices into daily life can help recharge your body and mind. EōS Director of Growth and Planning, Rachel Reddish, shares her top tips for easing into fitness and wellness routines post-holidays.
The best exercise? The one you enjoy! Whether it’s dancing in your living room, adding squats while cleaning, or turning a hike into family fun, movement doesn’t need to be confined to four walls. Reddish emphasizes, “We’d love to see you at EōS, but playing outside, hiking, or simply spending time outdoors in Surprise can be just as beneficial.”
For a gentler approach, try active recovery like walking, biking, or swimming. Low-impact activities ease tension while still keeping you moving. EōS also offers group fitness programs and family-friendly options for all ages and fitness levels. Their recovery tools, like massage chairs, provide a much-needed passive recovery option.
Finally, plan ahead. “Fail to plan, plan to fail,” Reddish advises. Whether it’s a yoga class, a stretch session, or just five minutes outside, find what works for you, and give yourself grace—it’s about progress, not perfection.
