don't lose the line at Christmas

A whole year of exercise and regular physical activitylar. When December arrives, many wear a body that is the envy of a group of friends. But in January, again among the purposes for the next 365 there is a recurring item: "regain good physical shape."

And it is that, with so many celebrations, feasts, trinkets and desserts, not losing the line at Christmas can be a mission impossible.

Moderation is the key, but ... is it really possible?

At work, with the family, at the house of the in-laws and an etcetera that can be quite extensive of parties and Christmas dinners to be scheduled. It is estimated that Just between Christmas Eve and Three Kings Day, Spaniards add between 500 grams and 2 kilos to their body mass.

 With willpower, yes. But beyond not losing control of what you eat, there are some other recommendations well worth mentioning.

Recommendations not to lose the line at Christmas

Christmas excesses

  • For various reasons, maintain the routine of physical activities Being followed during the months leading up to December can be tricky.
  • In any case, a minimum rhythm of exercises should be maintained. These "maintenance mode" routines can include things like: walking to work or shopping. Elevators and escalators should also be dispensed with as much as possible.
  • Those who have dogs can take them out for a walk three or four times a day. A night walk after dinner is ideal, as long as the cold allows it.
  • Adding short Yoga or Pilates routines at dawn is another good idea. No more than 15 minutes are required.
  • Take advantage of chores around the house, like gardening or painting.
  • Organize sports activities as a family. Riding a bike, skating, or playing volleyball can be just a few.
  • During party nights, don't just eat, drink, and chat. Dancing is a very efficient aerobic activity for burning calories. Also very useful to not lose the line. The goal: to get the obnoxious "lose weight and get back in shape" item off the list of New Years resolutions.
