The holiday season is the best time of the year for many people. After all, this season has tons of social functions and family gatherings. As a result, most of you will consume an abundance of savory meals and sweet treats. Unfortunately, the delicious dishes served during the holiday season contain extra calories. As such, weight gain is common during this holiday season. The good news is that you can maintain your ideal weight despite the various festivities or events. You can rely on these fitness trends to keep you in shape this holiday season into the New Year.
1. Omnichannel Training
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people transformed an area of their house into a gym to exercise at home. Even though many have returned to their usual gym workout, the lockdown has piqued people’s interest in at-home exercises. In fact, digital fitness has become popular ever since the pandemic. Today, a report showed that fitness enthusiasts prefer splitting their workout routine between their homes and the gym.
You can rely on the omnichannel trend to manage your weight during the holidays. This trend is about splitting your fitness routine between your home, the gym, and anywhere you’re going. Remember, you can now exercise anywhere because of the availability of online workout programs. As such, you can do digital workouts when you can’t go to the gym during the holidays. Through this trend, you can still exercise while on the road.
2. Fitness Trackers and Wearable Technology
One of the most popular fitness trends to keep you in shape this holiday season is the “fitness tracker” trend. As you know, wearable technology can help you track various metrics, including sleep, stress levels, heart rate, and body temperature. Aside from that, you can make sure that you exercise regularly by wearing a fitness tracker. Through these devices, you can keep track of your health and fitness even when you’re traveling or out of town.
3. Micro-Workouts
As you know, the holiday season is a hectic time of the year. Most people are busy preparing food and finding the perfect gift for their loved ones. Plus, you will probably attend numerous events and do activities that would make you forget about your fitness routines.
One of the best fitness trends to keep you in shape this holiday season is the “micro-workouts” trend. The main idea of this trend is to split your usual workout routine into several parts. For instance, you normally exercise for about 40 minutes. However, this period may be too long if you have a hectic schedule. As a solution, you can divide your routine into four 10-minute workouts. That way, you can still squeeze a short yet effective workout into your daily schedule. The best part is that micro-workouts are quick and easy, making them an ideal option when you’re feeling lazy during the holidays.
