How not to gain weight during the holidays: 10 New Year’s activities that burn up to 1000 calories

Less 400-600 kcal/hour depending on the speed and virtuosity of the pirouettes. At the same time, the muscles of the legs, back and abdominal muscles are pumped and the lungs are saturated with oxygen.

From the hill – wow! – and no, around 500 kcal/hour. Or maybe more, depending on how high the sled then needs to be carried and the adrenaline release during the ride. You don’t have anything to assemble? And the package? And the cardboard? And the simplest ice cube? Don’t use tubes, they are quite dangerous.

Have you seen how many grandmothers walk with sticks in winter? And it is also a very effective way to burn up to 600-700 kcal/hour. And pump up almost every muscle in the body.

With a dog or a friend. Walk, chat, admire the snowy beauty and lose 200 to 400 kcal/hour: not bad! Simply choose your shoes based on the weather and snow depth.

Is the forest far away, are the parks inaccessible? If you do not buy gingerbread and mulled wine along the way, a one-hour winter walk will be enough to consume 300-500 kcal. The streets of the city are decorated with illuminations and Christmas trees for the New Year, shop windows shine with lights, bells ring everywhere… Remember, how long has it been since you haven’t you walked around the city without looking at your watch and allowing yourself to look at the details?

Yes, there is no desire to go into the room, everyone understands everything. Then organize a fitness routine at home: turn up the music (you can do this on vacation!), put on a tracksuit and sneakers, watch a training video – and minus 150 kcal with a low-intensity load in half an hour is guaranteed.

A great idea for a noisy evening with friends or family. You can dance, attend a New Year’s masked ball and get acquainted with excellent retro music. Even a slow guy loses 100 kcal per hour, so imagine what will happen when you get into the rhythm and learn some cool moves!

Remember that gym class the last time you went skiing? Return to the good old days: now in parks and recreation centers you can rent excellent skis with all the equipment. Imagine: a forest in winter, a well-marked ski slope, sleeping trees and you fly like a light bird in the middle of this beauty. Well, or not easy. And you don’t steal… But 400-600 kcal per hour will fly away and you won’t notice it! And your arms and legs will buzz with pleasant fatigue.

Merry dance to New Year’s music and 400-600 kcal as usual! Warm up, burn off, relax. No cocktails please: one serving will add at least 150 kcal.

You don’t want to go out at all? We understand you! Do you remember that in half an hour of foreplay and sex you burn 100 kcal, or even a little more?
