With just over a week until Christmas, the temptation is getting harder to resist all of the festive foods surrounding us in Tesco, Christmas work parties and family get-togethers. So we have got our favourite exercises and Christmas snacks to help the waistline:
- Skipping is one of the best exercises to burn calories; you can burn 70-110 calories per 10 minutes of skipping, so go on…pass us the rope!
- Swimming: Keep kids occupied now the Christmas holidays are starting – this option is perfect as it is indoors and swimming is another excellent form of exercise, working muscles you never knew you had!
- If you have to snack on anything this Christmas, these are our favourite option, they’re fun, festive and fabulously healthy…
Sweet Strawberry Santas
