Don’t let your hours in the gym go to waste this December
To kick-start the year fit as a fiddle, it is vital to balance your amusement and health
The festive season will forever be the busiest and most exciting time of the year. It is a perfect time to catch up with long lost friends and family members, enjoy delicious food and wine, or lose morals as the young stars would say.
But for you to kick-start the year fit as a fiddle, it is vital to balance your amusement and health.
While you plan your day-to-day activities, here are a few easy home workout tips to consider without expensive equipment.
Before you begin, the first thing to do is to ensure that you create some space by moving non-resistant furniture like the table. Make sure the place is clean so you don’t trip over anything during the exercise and most importantly, warm up. Not forgetting the high-tempo music with a nice fast groove.
Workouts to consider:
The reverse crunch
- Lie face-up on the floor with your palms facing down.
- Bend your hips and knees at 90 degrees.
- Raise your hips off the floor and crunch them inward. Pause,
- and then gradually bring down your legs until your heels almost touch the floor.
Skipping rope
For this one, you need to a skipping rope. They usually range from R20 plus, depending on which shop you purchase it from. To do this workout, you have to jump with both feet slightly apart over the rope for at least 10 minutes. The benefits of using a rope are that even if you plan to travel this festive season, the rope is extremely portable, so you can jump just about anywhere.
Play sports
Since parents are busy during the course of the year and kids go to school, for some parents, the festive holidays is the only time they get to spend time with their kids. Sport is highly recommended to stay in shape. You can play soccer, tennis, cricket or anything else with the kids.
