Let’s be honest, we all know that Christmas and the holidays are a pretty indulgent time of the year. Even if you promised yourself you’d take it a little easier this year, you could take your eyes off the ball for just a few days and suddenly you’re about 18 iced mince pies deep, and your chiseled physique becomes what it used to be. I’ll put it away. About melted ice cream.
just me? Probably, but it’s nearly impossible to stay fit during this time. Gyms are closed, food is plentiful and calorie-dense, and drinks (alcoholic or otherwise) flow nonstop. January is often the leanest time of the year, so cutting back on exercise in December has a double effect. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve laced up my best gym shoes and tried to start a new year of fitness, even though I was in the worst shape of my life.
