Tet with its hearty meals and sedentary habits can easily lead to uncontrolled weight gain. However, maintaining a suitable exercise regimen can help control weight and stay healthy throughout the holiday.
It is a fact that exercise habits are often not maintained during the holidays. By choosing the right exercises, combined with a flexible schedule, we will avoid uncontrolled weight gain during the holidays, according to the health website Healthline (USA).
Exercises such as push-ups and pull-ups will help reduce the risk of uncontrolled weight gain during Tet.
To avoid gaining weight during Tet, people need to pay attention to the following things when exercising:
Choose the right type of exercise
During the holidays, many people have limited time. Therefore, they should prioritize short exercises that require little time but are highly effective. The exercises can only last from 20 to 30 minutes/day. For those who have time, the exercise session can last longer.
For endurance exercises, the priority is walking, jogging, jumping rope or cycling. These are exercises that help burn a lot of calories. Meanwhile, strength exercises are lifting weights, push-ups, chin-ups or planks. Although these exercises do not burn as many calories as endurance exercises, they help maintain muscle mass and increase metabolism.
Combine exercise with lifestyle habits
There is no need to spend too much time exercising, people can incorporate physical activity into their daily activities. For example, when going out during Tet, instead of using motorbikes or cars, people can walk more.
In addition, cleaning the house, wiping, and arranging the altar is both a way to increase exercise and create a tidy home space to welcome Tet.
Exercise after eating
After a hearty meal during the holidays, if you feel heavy, try taking a light walk for 15-20 minutes. This will not only help increase calorie burning but also aid digestion and reduce blood sugar after eating.
Combined with a reasonable diet
Exercise will be more effective if accompanied by a reasonable diet. Specifically, people need to limit sweets, fried foods and starches, while increasing green vegetables and fresh fruits such as grapefruit, apples or oranges, according to Healthline.
