If we are careless,

Christmas

takes its toll.

To our pockets and, also, to our

healthy life,

the one that we try to take care of all year round and that in a couple of weeks can easily collapse;

On average, Spaniards gain between three and five kilos each end of December.

And the question is obliged, how to avoid gaining weight without giving up the pleasures of these dates? Following some

fitness

tips

that allow us to control the situation without depriving ourselves of anything. "A good idea is to carefully plan the menus for the designated days, opting for less caloric, light and digestible dishes," explains Núria Llop, from the

virtual gym

and wellness Olimfit. "The less weight we gain, the less time it will take to lose it and the less physical effort we will have to do after Christmas."

But as much as we try a healthy diet that tries to compensate for the excesses, some are unavoidable.

And for those, so that they do not leave a mark, Núria Llop proposes a complete and effective

fitness routine

in which you do not have to invest a single euro, because it can be practiced at home.

And, best of all, it will hardly take time, just a few minutes.

What to do to avoid gaining weight at Christmas

When what you want is a training that is as complete as possible and

burns fat

, it is advisable to "perform squats, push-ups, burpees and planks," says Núria;

"With them, calorie consumption is guaranteed."

The expert recommends doing each exercise for a short period of time (between 15-40 "depending on whether you are a beginner or a newcomer)," with short recovery periods between exercises, "she explains. The circuit must be repeated three times.

Four fat burning exercises to save weight at Christmas

  • Squats.

    They are a classic among exercises. They train the entire lower body and guarantee a muscular improvement that not only helps when practicing the rest, but also in daily life; Strong legs allow you to be fitter to face long walks or climb stairs and feel lighter.

  • Push-Ups.

    They are usually included in many workouts because it is a movement that involves the entire upper body. In addition, they do not require any type of additional equipment since you use your own body supporting your weight. To correctly perform a push-up, check that you comply with the following premises: make sure that your elbows are tucked in and close to the torso, the palms must be fully supported on the ground and the fingers point to the front and be apart for a better grip. Lastly, the trunk should be as straight as when doing a plank.

  • Planks.

    In theory, it is an easy exercise;

    but when it comes to putting it into practice it can be somewhat complex.

    "If you are one of those who prefers to do more static exercises, keeping your body firm, take note, because the planks are for you", assures Núria Llop.

    In fact, it's similar to flex in positioning, but with a few slight changes.

    The support points in this case will be the forearms and the balls of the feet.

  • Burpees.

    Another exercise that requires the intervention of the whole body.

    They are complex, since they are like three exercises in one.

    We recommend mastering the squat, push-ups and planks beforehand, since it takes strength and desire to do so.

    Burpees work more parts of the body at the same time: back, chest, abdomen, arms, and legs.
