We can no longer deny it, it is nearly Christmas! At Glo, we too often hear that people are \u2018off their diet\u2019 or \u2018having a month off\u2019 just because it\u2019s Christmas. However, we are here to tell you why you shouldn\u2019t give up your fitness and health just because Santa is coming to town, and some useful tips to help you stay on track.<\/h2>\n

WHY<\/b> you should continue sleighing it in the gym:\"\"<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t lose something you have worked so hard all year for
\n<\/b>Have you been working hard on your health and fitness all year? Don\u2019t let one month of the year mean that all that hard work goes out of the decorated window. Fitness and performance levels are known to drop by HALF within 2 weeks of inactivity! However, it can take months to get your fitness to this level. Even by committing to physical activity for two days a week throughout December can help you to maintain the fitness levels you\u2019ve worked so hard for. Make December a month of maintenance, not improvement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Workout now, keep burning calories later
\n<\/b>After you finish working out, you will keep burning calories at an accelerated rate for at least the next 14 hours. Intense workouts such as HIIT can lead to calorie burning for up to 24 hours! You know what that means? If you reschedule your workouts to the morning during December, you can treat yourself to that pig in blanket or Christmas pudding later in the day! Check out our timetable<\/span> to see which morning classes you can fit into your routine.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HOW <\/b>you can fit in fitness around the festivities:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/b><\/p>\n

Plan, plan, and plan some more<\/b>
\nWe understand what a busy time Christmas can be. Every weekend and
\nevening seems filled with catching up with family\/friends, works parties, present
\nwrapping or last minute shopping. If you plan your workout time like you would any other commitment,
\nyou will be less likely to cancel, and can start to fit these other activities around your fitness routine.
\nThere is no need to book for classes at Glo, so write them in your calendar and try your best to not reschedule.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Group Effect<\/b>
\nReally struggling for time? Need to rush home to help the
\nkids make their Christmas costume?
\nWhy not drop by a class for the first or last 15-30 minutes?
\nThis is known as our Group Effect<\/span>,
\nwhere our classes are split into 15 minute intervals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\n\"\"
\nFit in time with your friends in the gym
\n<\/b>Promised that friend you would catch up before Christmas?
\nNEED to get a present to a friend before it\u2019s too late?
\nWhy not suggest a workout together? The workout will be more fun,
\nand you can recover afterwards over coffee or lunch!<\/p>\n
