It’s that time of the year when everything around you seems fun and exciting. The festivity calls for dance, music & most importantly plates of temptation (Oh yes! We meant the yummy food!). Many fitness buffs dread the festive season since temptations are all around!
Here we give you 5 fun alternatives that will stop you from giving excuses during the festive season:
1. Shake it. Shake it. Shake it.

Dancing is the most fun part of being at a festival and one of the coolest and interesting ways to burn that extra fat and tone your muscles effortlessly. And most importantly, there are no set protocols unlike other fitness routines. You will be the master of your dance while you shake, shake, shake. You’ll easily burn 400-750 calories an hour when you dancercise.

2. Do the Chores

When families get together, the intensity of household work just shoots up. Nobody will want to invest time in cleaning the house or dishes or even go buy groceries. But remember that all these things can turn out to be interesting workouts when you do them with your favourite cousin, uncle or aunt. Try this out and see how beautifully you bond with them as well.

3. Decorate the House

Your house also has to look beautiful just like you. So give it the attention it deserves by decorating the house along with your family members. While you hang those flowers and lights, you are inadvertently giving your body much needed stretches.

4. Go Shopping:

This is a great way to lose weight especially if you love shopping. Even if you walk around the mall the entire day, with those big shopping bags (equivalent to dumbbells?) in your hands, it still seems interesting and exciting. It’s a good way to trick your brain into doing some effective workout.

5. Distribute Sweets to Neighbours:

Are you living in a colony where neighbours are like family? That gives you all enough reason to distribute the sweets that you made and share the love. It’s even better if you walk all the way to their houses by climbing up & coming down the stairs in case you live in an apartment.
