Don't let the weather affect your workout routine
Jack Frost may be nipping at your nose, but that doesn’t mean you should put your fitness regime on ice. Anna Reich, Simple Fitness Expert, says: “As tempting as it is to slump on the sofa and turn your attentions to comfort food, remember that you still need to stick to your workout. Even if you only have 20 minutes a day, try and fit some easy DIY exercises at home.
“Not only will you benefit your waist0line but your skin too. Getting sweaty will help to purge your skin of pore-clogging build-ups and aid muscle production which will encourage the flow of essential oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
“Here are my top tops on how to keep your festive workout fun when tight on time.”
Go Christmas Shopping – Dashing around the bustling shops doesn’t have to be a chore. Evenly distribute all those weighty bags and it can help to burn off at least 150 calories per hour.
Queue clench – Use your time wisely when waiting to queue. Squeeze your buttocks together, hold for five seconds, and then release. Repeat 10 times for a perfectly tight and toned derriere.
Be a disco diva – Dancing is a great way to get your heart rate pumping and burn off all those extra Christmas calories so create your favourite playlist and have fun.
Get cosy with a Christmas movie while toning your triceps – Place your hands behind you on the sofa and grip the edge. Dip your bottom down into a squatting position while keeping your back straight, return to the start position. Repeat 10 times.
