Simplifying the Holidays with Residence Inn

By Sponsored December 9, 2014

It's holiday travel season – time for the joy of loading the kids in the car to go over the hills and through the woods to grandmother's house, enjoying gingerbread and pie, and tons of “me” time. Oh wait...

While you may not have all the time in the world to yourself this holiday season, you can still squeeze in a cookie calorie-busting workout. Residence Inn by Marriott’s 2014 “Resident Mom of the Year,” soccer superstar and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Mia Hamm created two quick and efficient workout routines for busy moms that you can do anywhere. Give yourself a gift this season and download Mia’s “Suite 10-minute Workouts” for free HERE. With no exercise equipment needed (just a small face towel and a chair), you can do these in your living room or on the road. Mia selected effective, simple moves including squats, planks and lunges to work the whole body in just 10 minutes.

You can even get your young ones involved! One of the routines is designed to be done with a child – the perfect “mommy and me” time. Check out this fun workout video Mia created for Residence Inn:

Planning to take your family on the road for the holidays to visit loved ones? If so, consider spreading out at a Residence Inn this year. Residence Inn offers all the comforts of home – plus some extras. Spacious suites feature one or two-bedrooms with full kitchens, free grocery delivery, daily free hot breakfast (the waffles are a favorite amongst the young ones!), laundry facilities, fitness centers, free WIFI, and a welcoming pet policy. These amenities help families keep their routine on the road, which translates to fewer children’s meltdowns.



When the kids go to sleep in their bedroom, you can actually close the door and relax in the living area with your partner, perhaps with a bottle of wine or a bowl of popcorn. And that means fewer meltdowns on your end.

If it feels a bit too cramped for comfort at the in-law's, consider this... there are more than 600 Residence Inns across the country, which means there’s likely a nearby refuge that’s perfect for the whole family.
