Christmas holidays are an ideal time to spend more time with family and friends, why not take advantage of it to do some sport? Here are some tips.
Warm, stretch and protect yourself from the cold
With the drop in temperatures it is essential to perform warm-ups or activations to progressively increase body temperature and avoid muscle injuries.
If you practice outdoor sports, wear breathable and waterproof clothing, which allows the evaporation of sweat and prevents the transfer of moisture to the skin, which could cause hypothermia.
At the end of the exercise, even if you have a feeling of heat, wrap up correctly: the autoimmune system is more vulnerable after sport due to fatigue, so the risk of suffering from flu or colds is higher.
What sports are the most recommended during these dates?
If you do not like the cold much or if you are prone to catching a cold, we recommend indoor sports, such as the classic futsal or basketball games that are held to say goodbye to the year. If you prefer outdoor activities, go ahead and climb the snow or sign up for one of the many popular races that are organized at this time.
And if you want to try new experiences, in almost most cities you can skate or practice ice hockey in pavilions or rinks.
What is clear is that there is no shortage of options, so there is no excuse to play sports during Christmas and compensate for those extra calories.
