* Work out your Christmas shopping budget, this will help reduce stress as you will know clearly how much you can spend.
* Go shopping - all that brisk walking will get your heart rate elevated.
* Everyone likes to have a tipple or two at Christmas, just ensure you don’t drink alcohol on an empty stomach. Eat some complex carbs; such as a salad sandwich, at least this will line the stomach and soak up the alcohol. Drink plenty of water in between to avoid getting completely dehydrated. Instead of an English fry up opt for some porridge, a small amount will make you feel full and keep you snug for a few hours.
* That Christmas party is calling, don’t sit down all night, get up on that dance floor and party!
* Getting the housework done at home will definitely get your heart rate elevated.
It’s very easy to have that moment of weakness due to it being the festive season, but is it really worth throwing all that time spent making yourself look good during the summer months than to let it go in the winter?
* Check yourself out in the mirror everyday and ask yourself why you worked so hard to achieve the body composition you have. Picture yourself bigger than normal. That would definitely make you think twice about eating unhealthily!
*Drink at least eight glasses of water a day. You can add some cordial but preferably ones with no added sugar, or watered down fruit juice if preferred. Tea is actually worse for the skin than coffee and robs the skin of vital minerals as it is a diuretic.
*If you’re struggling to put in time for exercise; park your car a good walking distance from your workplace and using the stairs rather than the lift, this will help with gaining some form of daily exercise.
*If you love cycling - then why not cycle to work if feasible, or around the area or to the local store rather than taking the car?
Carrying these out these exercises on a regular basis will improve your stamina, endurance and good body composition. Of course this would also keep your heart healthy as long as you are also maintaining good food management.
Unfortunately many people lack motivation when it comes to exercising and getting fit, get a group together to motivate one another and gain good health
