Fit For Christmas

 

Yes, Christmas is a time for celebration and usually self indulgence, which frequently leads to strong New Year's plans to get fit and lose weight, so it's understandable that many individuals find it difficult to keep a positive attitude in December. If you neglect your fitness during this season, you may have some of the following issues:

Maintenance:

Maintaining a fitness regimen is one of the hardest things to accomplish when time is limited. The additional demands on your time may need you to sacrifice something if you typically work out a couple times per week. However, cutting back on training doesn't have to result in a decline in fitness. According to research, a few weeks of maintenance exercise can cause little or no fitness deficits. 

Because the body gets a chance to rest and regenerate, performance can sometimes even get better after a little period of reduced training. As a result, when you resume your regular training, you may discover that you have more energy and passion for your exercises.

Commit:

Plan, inform, and then do. Consider scheduling a few less frequent and/or shorter workout sessions. Put your plan into motion after explaining your intentions to friends and family and stressing the value of maintaining your fitness.

A Little Exercise is Better Than Nothing:

Understand that your workouts will be shorter, but that they can still be beneficial for your training. 

For instance: 

If you frequently go for multiple runs or jogs, halving your training time will still keep you in shape. 

Reduce the number of sets of each resistance training exercise to one or two instead of two or three. Your session will be shorter, but you'll still be working the same muscles, maintaining your strength.
