The festive season that went by was a good break to indulge in guilt-free eating and spending time with family and friends. The endless sweet tooth, feasts with family and friends or late night togethers, your fitness routine might have taken a backseat.
So, now that you are back at it, starting again after a refreshing festive break, it is important for you to not directly jump into long diets and extreme workouts. Start slowly and consciously by taking one step at a time. Let simple workouts be the warm-up you didn’t ask for.
The celebrations can feel heavy at the end, but the workout to lose that extra kilos starts by bouncing back to the fitness regime with slow and simple workouts. Are you hesitant to start even simple workouts because you feel conscious about the extra weight gain?
You don’t have to take stress because simple workouts are not anything about lifting heavy weights or jumping directly to push ups or faster treadmills. Let’s discuss in detail about how we can workout to lose that extra kilos without having to push ourselves unnecessarily:
-
The Walk Workout:
One of the most simple workouts include walking your way towards a fit and fine body. Walking is effective as it can improve digestion, energy levels, and calorie burn. So start with a 15 minutes walking warm up which can be followed up by gradually increasing the pace.
You can go out for a morning stroll with the cool air, birds chirping, and sunlight doing wonders to your body and mood.
You can also go for a walk on the beach with your bare feet touching the sand and it improves circulation and strengthens calves.
You can also listen to your favorite upbeat playlist or walk with a friend. It is also an added boost.
-
The Dance Workout:
You don’t have to follow the compulsory methods of decided workouts. You should do what looks like fun to you and enjoy it too. So dance your heart out and sweat it out to your fast music beats and shed off those extra kilos.
Dancing helps you to improve flexibility and also lifts up your mood instantly. It also burns calories and makes you enjoy the exercise.
-
The Yoga Balance Workout:
If you are too tired to move around, yoga is the best option for you to regulate your mind and improve flexibility, tone your muscles, and calm your mind.
Yoga also helps regulate digestion and boosts your metabolism which is essential for post-festive recovery. Yoga can connect you with your sense of self and you can rejuvenate your body and soul after a tiring festive season.
-
The Zumba Workout:
Zumba is like another dancing marathon but more structured. You can join Zumba classes at a nearby studio or online as these classes are high on energy and can help you to shed those extra kilos faster, thereby keeping your spirits high.
-
Hydration And Smart Refueling:
Water is an essential source of body refreshment as it helps to flush out toxins and aids digestion, especially after heavy festive meals. Start your day with warm water and lemon, and carry a bottle with you throughout the day.
Water is the fuel that drives energy and instant fluid flow in the body.
Conclusion
In short, festive indulging is a part of life and it should be enjoyed all the while taking care of your body post the festive season. Workouts are not about perfection but progress.
If you have set your mind to workout regularly, keep in mind to stay consistent and aim for progress not perfection.
Working out doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Choose activities that make you happy and you will have fun while considering it a good refreshment for your body and mind.
Workouts are not punishments for what you ate but simply getting your body the balance it needs to feel fit and healthy.
