It doesn’t matter whatever holiday you are celebrating and whichever country you are in, chances are that you will be spending most of the time eating and drinking with your family and friends throughout the season. So before you blow up your fitness routine until, try these Christmas fitness tips this holiday:
Manage Time for Running:
If you cannot manage to squeeze it in during your working week, why not you head out at the weekends? On a fresh morning, there is nothing more exhilarating than being outdoors. Make a plan for 4-5 mile walk or jogging on Christmas morning so that you feel fresh and virtuous for the rest of the day. You can find a partner with your wife, family members or any close friends and it won’t feel bad when you go over for a walk sit together and enjoy coffee after that. Going for a walk on Christmas morning is a great way to work off those little indulgences, and it is a great way to get the family off the couch and out to enjoy that fresh winter air.
One of the best parts of Christmas Day is a long walk after having lunch. Wrap up in a big scarf and gloves, rope in family members and walk for an hour then return all refreshed and ready to be warmed up with a low-fat hot cocoa.
Exercise at Home:
It is most likely you have got a workout video tucked away in your collection or a pair of dumbbells under your bed, or you can jump rope neatly tied in a drawer, a treadmill in home is the best. Dust them off and get them out, it is much easier than you think to fit in some exercise in comfort of your own home.
Keep Dancing:
There is plenty of boogieing to be done all over the festive season, so get on the dance floor early and show everyone what you are made of. Not only will you be earning yourself some activity values, but also more dancing means less nibbling and drinking!
Dance with yourself.
