The holidays are here. Thanksgiving is just a few days away and before we know it, Christmas will be here. 

The kids are out of school this week, there’s shopping to be done, fellowship with friends and family. Let’s face it, there’s just not much time to workout. But because of that limited time doesn’t mean we should stop working out. Let’s revise those workouts and keep them quick, efficient, and simple. 

Here’s five workouts you can do from home this week that will help you stay active, burn calories, and have fun!
