It is undoubtedly one of the periods of the year in which we hold the most celebrations, from family meals to business dinners, which usually leave us a few extra pounds.
To this we add that it is a time in which we not only eat more than necessary, but we do the same with the hours of sleep, in addition to abusing sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise.
And if we also add that the weight gain It is not the only consequence, since fatigue and worsening of our physique and spirits also appear, the needs to take care of ourselves in this first month of the year are even greater.
For all the aforementioned, do not miss the 3 tips that we are going to give you below if you want to start the year by recovering your ideal weight.
What is your ideal weight and how to get back to it
First of all, you should know what weight you are looking for. It is true that, if this Christmas you have gained 3 kilos, you are probably looking to eliminate only this weight that you have taken on at Christmas. But in this case, you would not be achieving your ideal weight, but the one you had before starting Christmas.
To do this, you can calculate your ideal weight on numerous internet pages, which will request data such as your gender, age or height, among others.
Once you know what weight you want to regain, it is time to start doing it, from this precise moment, without waiting until tomorrow or until next Monday.
And now, pay attention to the 3 tips that we will give you below.
- Plates: The first of them, how could it be otherwise, is related to the physical activity. It’s about the plates. And yes, it is true that there are numerous modalities within this type of exercise, however, the purpose remains the same, and it will help you lose weight. Perform this exercise keeping your body rigid like a board and you will notice the result in your shoulders, arms and abdomen.
- Dumbbells: The second tip is also related to physical activity. And it is that, although many of us dream of be able to lose weight leading a life of excess when it comes to food and lack of exercise, the reality is very different. Therefore, do not neglect the weights if you want to lose weight. This occurs as a result of increased muscle mass, which improves your metabolism and increased caloric expenditure.
- Diet free of excesses: And, finally, having explained the importance of doing physical exercise, we cannot forget that the main reason why you have gained between 2 and 5 kilos is, as we pointed out at the beginning of this article, the large amount of excess food last December. Therefore, our recommendation is to leave out ultra-processed food, since on the contrary you will not achieve the desired objectives.
