Sticking to a regular workout routine won't just keep you on schedule and help you burn off some extra holiday calories; it will also help improve your mood, explained Dr. Adams. She recommends scheduling workouts on your calendar so you don't miss them. One way is to sign up for workout classes so you have to go at a set structured time.
