Keeping fit during Christmas time can be quite a challenge!<\/strong><\/p>\n

At least one activity a day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Establish a rule that you will do at least one sport activity a day. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s cycling, indoor cycling session, running, swimming, ice hockey game, skiing or power work-out in the gym. Don\u2019t cheat and do something every day. You\u2019ll see that you can enjoy the festive days with your family even more after a good training session. One hour of running, gym workout, swimming or indoor cycling is enough. Two or three hours of cycling outside, skiing or longer trekking is similar. Just keep the rule every day.<\/p>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

Find a group ride<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Christmas is a good time for group riding. The majority of your cycling friends are enjoying a break from work, so why not organize or attend a group ride together. Depending on the weather and the conditions on the roads, you can ride MTB on your favourite trails or take out your road bike and enjoy some dry roads around your city. Or why not get on the more and more popular gravel bikes and explore some new farmer roads in the fields in the countryside?<\/p>\n

Run or swim<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s hard to keep cycling around Christmas, so try to switch to other activities like running or swimming. You can do both early in the morning or later in the evening. And there\u2019s a chance that public swimming pools will be less crowded these days. So do your one hour and then enjoy the rest of the day with your family, visiting relatives and enjoying Christmas atmosphere. And you will be satisfied that you didn\u2019t miss your daily work-out.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n

White Christmas doesn\u2019t only create an amazing atmosphere, it also enables you to enjoy winter sports. Downhill skiing is not just fun and a pleasure, but it\u2019s good exercise, too. Spending all day on the \u201cpiste\u201d with your friends and family is great. The same goes for cross-country skiing. A three- or four-hour trip on skies is a very similar effort to an average cycling group ride. And you can still be with your family. You don\u2019t feel like skiing? Just walk then. Mountain trekking is also a good option and a suitable activity to do with your loved ones.<\/p>\n

Do not overeat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

O.K., it\u2019s Christmas time, of course you can forget about your diet or healthy recipes for a week or two. It won\u2019t kill you. But be smart. Overeating is not necessary. You can taste whatever you want, picking this and that when visiting your parents or relatives, but try not to end up feeling like a balloon at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Race, play, compete<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Christmas time is also a good opportunity to put your body to the test. The holiday week always offers a few challenges. It can be a Christmas run, a cyclocross race, an indoor cycling marathon, a Zwift home trainer on-line race, or any other sports competition. Just sign up with your friends, enjoy it and don\u2019t forget to try your best. A good atmosphere and some intensive effort will be your reward for a little bit of suffering. And your beer or glass of wine will taste even better afterwards\u2026<\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t forget to relax, too\u2026 Enjoy Christmas time with your family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
