Endless meals one after another, long drives, short nights… The holiday season can quickly feel like the worst time to exercise! Yet if you want to stay in shape and keep things in check, keeping active is a really great idea. So to help you do just that, here are our best tips…
I work out at home
One of the best ways to keep exercising during the holidays is to embrace home workouts. Working out in your living room saves time, lets you enjoy the comfort of your own space, keeps an eye on the kids, and makes it so much easier to stay motivated! And, contrary to what you might think, home workouts are just as effective as a gym session — you just need to choose the right exercises!
I choose activities I actually enjoy
To keep exercising during the holidays, you need to feel motivated. It can be all too tempting to sink into the sofa to catch up on a short night’s sleep, or binge your favourite series to recover from one too many glasses of champagne the night before! And to stay motivated, there’s no secret — the activity you choose has to be something you genuinely enjoy. If you hate running, don’t force yourself to go for a jog; on the other hand, if swimming is your happy place, head to the pool! It’s always so much easier to get moving for a workout you truly love.
I make time for exercise
If you want to keep exercising during the holidays, you’ll need to carve out the time. The most effective way to do this is to schedule your workout slots in advance. Set your alarm a little earlier in the morning, take an hour for yourself during the kids’ nap time, plan a session before dinner… In short, find the moment that works best for you and dedicate it to exercise!
The body cream that hydrates and helps firm the skin
- Kigeline & Fenugreek, two plant-based actives at the heart of the formula
- Hydrates the skin and helps strengthen its firmness on targeted areas
- Melting texture: it absorbs quickly, with no residue or greasy film
I take every opportunity to get moving
Exercising during the holidays is a great thing, but also think about staying as active as possible throughout this period. Snowball fights, an afternoon sledging, walking the dog, strolling around the Christmas market… Every opportunity to get moving counts — and helps burn off some of those chocolates you’ve been snacking on!
I go for short, intense sessions
We mentioned making time for exercise, but it’s also worth knowing that short, intense training sessions are a great option when you’re short on time! If you opt for a HIIT-style workout, a 20-minute session fits easily into a busy day.
I don’t put pressure on myself
Finally, exercising during the holidays is a wonderful idea to help maintain your figure and offset the occasional indulgence — but don’t let it become an obsession! A few generous meals are not going to undo all your hard work throughout the year, so relax, enjoy this special time, and don’t feel guilty if you put exercise on the back burner for a few days…
