When the subject of exercise comes up this holiday when visiting members of my family, I plan on defending my position on how to "make" time to exercise during the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

It's true that the holiday season is more stressful than most, and it's very hard to find decent time to dedicate to yourself during the month of December to continue an exercise regimen.

But, if you work full-time (if you can define that!) and have family commitments and have holiday shopping and have parties to attend and have decorations to install and have kids' plays to attend and have (insert never-ending list here!), then it may be hard to find time to get your exercise going during the holiday season.

So, what happens? Most of us will make a New Year's resolution to "start exercising" or to "get in shape" starting with the new year. Statistics show that most of this is short-lived. By the start of March, many have given up on their New Year's Resolutions.
