Kelly Rowland's Fitness Instructor Shares an Easy Holiday Workout

It is officially the most wonderful time of the year! That means a lot of traveling, parties and eating...and more eating.
Luckily, celebrity fitness instructor Angela Manuel-Davis, who has worked with Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Lea Michele and more, gifted us with tips on how to combat holiday indulgences with a quick, high-intensity workout you can do on the go.

"You want to have a rolling start into the New Year and understand that 2017 is preparing you for 2018," Angela explained. "You want to make sure that foundation is stable so you can jump higher and go higher than you were in the last year."
