As the year winds down, many of us focus on wrapping up work projects, holiday plans, and family commitments. But December is also an ideal time to pause and check in with your body .

The new year is often a time for fresh starts: new goals, new routines, and renewed energy. But without a thoughtful plan, starting a fitness program or ramping up activity after weeks of holiday indulgence can sometimes backfire, leading to aches, injuries, or frustration.
