Relax or workout for the holidays?
The new year's table is not just about Olivier. Usually in the course of meat and cheese cuts, and certainly hot dishes of meat or poultry. Red caviar is also a valuable protein product. If you prefer chicken and cheese to sweets and cakes, your muscles will thank you.
There are still cicmil – this is the day when one meal a day to do absolutely anything. The excess daily energy intake is not only permissible, but encouraged. This saves you from slowing down your metabolism and uncontrolled breakdowns. Arrange a chitmil usually once a week or two. Follow the usual diet for a week before the holiday, and the feast will come in handy.
Don't be afraid of weight gain. It is almost certain to be, but for the most part it is water, not fat. Easy come, easy go.
Without drunkenness and gluttony
Of course, you don't have to stay sober and hungry. Listen to your feelings. Overeating to the point of abdominal pain and inability to move can ruin a holiday, as can drinking to the point of vertigo. Give your body a good feeling!
Being simply full, cheerful and relaxed is much more pleasant than being overfed and drunk. You can go to launch fireworks and ride down the slides. This is much more fun than lying on the couch in a powerless attempt to digest a mountain of salads and liters of champagne.
Especially important is restraint in eating when training, which involves working with your weight. If you visit a climbing wall, run, do crossfit-feast in moderation.
Movement-life
On the first of January, most of the halls are closed, and in those that somehow work, there are almost no people. Training in such conditions is boring. In addition, it is not so easy to find an open gym, and you will probably not be in the mood to study. After all, the New year is traditionally a night holiday, so the mode is lost for almost everyone.
Well, if you like winter sports. In the forest on a ski run or in the snow-capped mountains, you will have a great day! And don't count on the lack of people here. Of course, the main excitement will begin on January 2 and further, when people come to their senses. And yet in the forest parks and ski complexes on the first day of the new year is much busier than in the city.
If you still did not calculate the amount of food and drink the day before, and now you feel bad, you do not need to force yourself. You can walk around the city or forest Park. It should be a leisurely walk, not a jog. It will help you get back in shape faster.
What's next?
A long new year's weekend is a sea of possibilities. When the gyms open-long before the working days begin – you can train as and when you like. For example, in the morning, when the forces and energy are much more than in the evening. Then you can go to visit and eat delicious food with impunity, because after a good workout, everything or almost everything will" burn".
You don't have to choose between training and family. Later, again, there will be a time when you spend one evening with your family and the other with dumbbells, but now you will have time to do everything. Finally, you will be able to work out with friends, with whom you always do not match the plans.
However, you can take a break from training and move a lot in other ways. Active recreation, which is constantly not enough time, will be available. Snowboard at least every day, winter hikes, trips to different cities with walks and sightseeing-depending on what you like.
In short, a holiday is not a reason to part with good physical shape. Combining rest and exercise is not only possible, but also pleasant! And then you will return to your normal routine with new strength.
