Incidental
exercise
December and January fly by in
a flash, with gym sessions easily
replaced by parties, long lunches and
lazy days by the pool. If you don’t
want to suffer the consequences come
March, make sure you get in as much
incidental exercise as you can.
Instead of catching up with friends
for a boozy lunch, suggest a day of
tennis (okay, with maybe a Pimm’s
afterwards). Walk instead of driving
or catching public transport. Enjoy
the sunshine and the warm balmy
evenings while they’re here and go
for a stroll. Climb the stairs instead of
taking the lift.
Use grocery bags as weights and
do some bicep curls on the way
home from the supermarket. Clench
your bottom cheeks together while
you’re standing in line to see Father
Christmas with the kids. Brace
your stomach muscles as you walk,
wherever you are, to improve your
core strength.
