How easy it is to lose it what has already been achieved
Just a week break from physical activity results in very negative changes (including a decrease in muscle mass), which reduce the effects already achieved, and thus wastes the time devoted to the implementation of the ones carried out so far training sessions. Therefore, it is very important to maintain continuity trainings also in the pre-Christmas period. However, how to achieve this in this the busy season of the holiday fever.
Resign from “magazines”
TV, Facebook, Internet, movies and series, all of this can be done in the pre-holiday season give up or significantly reduce the time devoted to this type of pleasure. As a result, you will definitely be able to save some time, which in turn will be can be spent on training.

However, it is worth bearing in mind that they are secreted during physical exertion endorphins, so-called happiness hormones. In addition, physical activity allows you to de-stress.
Shorten your workouts without reducing their effectiveness
Lots of people in the period pre-Christmas resigns from training because of the fact that due to the shortage of time they will not be able to complete all training, but doing only half of the training does not make much sense.

Thanks to this, workouts will be shorter, and thus you will have to spend less on their implementation time which is worth its weight in gold during this period. Also, be sure to under any circumstances as a matter of fact, regardless of the training you carry out, do not give up warm-up and stretching exercises.
Try alternative forms of movement
In the pre-Christmas rush it’s worth it also “test” alternative forms of physical activity. For example, in you can take a break and go to your Christmas shopping swimming pool for a swim. It is also worth taking advantage of the prevailing weather conditions and go ice skating alone or with the family. The pre-holiday period is also the perfect time to try out group activities conducted in clubs fitness. However, no matter what form of exercise you choose, the most important thing is to stay physically active.
