Hence, to keep your metabolism up, you need some activity in order to cut down all the fat you have gained from the pack of delicious food you have been eating and gorging into during your holidays. Keep in mind the following points and experience the joy of staying fit and in shape.

Condition your Body Weight

Conditioning your body weight is not a big task, even if there is not enough gym equipment around. There are numerous ways through which you can achieve a good balance between maintaining your fitness and enjoying your holidays.

A Pull-up routine is sure to give you amazing results. You just need a comfortable spot to practice this particular exercise. A door frame or door itself can be useful. You can look out for a sturdy tree branch too. This helps in toning your back, arms, and chest. When doing pull-ups, remember that your palm should face towards you, while you invert your grip. It is also called chin-ups and improves your arm muscles, helping you get those biceps.

Another effective exercise to build your arms, chest, shoulders, and core is –Press-ups.

For building your legs, back and glutes you can simply stick to performing squats or just go for plyo squats, i.e., jumping up each time you come up. These are easy to perform. Sweat it out by doing some alternate set of Crunches. These will help in cutting down the belly fat.

Triceps dip makes it easy to tone up the muscles on the backside of your upper arm. You do not require any equipment for this. Sit on a chair and slowly move your rear and legs away from the chair, with your hands taking the support of the chair itself. Now dip down and come up. That is it!
