As Lunar New Year festivities light up 2026, staying active might feel like a challenge between feasts and family gatherings. But who needs a treadmill when you’ve got tradition? 🎉
From dragon dance-inspired moves (hello, cardio!) to brisk walks through lantern-lit streets, fitness can blend seamlessly with celebration. Experts suggest incorporating small bursts of activity: help prep dumplings (squats while stirring, anyone?), play tag with cousins, or join a community tai chi session at dawn.
"It’s about joyful movement, not strict routines," says wellness coach Lyne Lin, who’s partnering with Jason Lee to share DIY holiday workouts on social media. Their top tip? Turn red envelope deliveries into a step-count competition! 📈
This year’s trend? Cultural cardio. Think lion dance leg lifts or calligraphy brush arm circles. After all, why bench-press when you can lift prosperity trays? 💪✨
