The most wonderful time of year has returned and so have our tendencies to overindulge ourselves during the festive period. It is easy for us to pile on the pounds in an office type of environment because let’s face it, the Christmas treats will constantly be coming our way. With this in mind, we thought it would be useful for us to present to you a list of top tips on how you can have a guilt-free Christmas at your workplace.
Here it goes…
Tip one: burn off the calories during lunch breaks
The ultimate goal should essentially be to make time for exercise all year round. From our point of view, there’s no better time to make time for it than the Christmas period. There is nothing wrong with having a few mince pies and mulled wine here and there, as long as you are staying active.
One can workout at the gym during their lunch break or engage in some effective exercises at your desk area. If you are keen to go for the latter option then it would be a good idea to ensure your office desks are steady and that you are seated on a comfortable office chair. This will prevent you from encountering any fatal injuries.
Tip two: keep it balanced with your food choices
As mentioned earlier, it is absolutely fine to eat a mixture of indulging food ranging from delicious chocolates to tasty mince pies as long as you don’t overdo it. Make sure you remember to switch it up and consume fruit too during the course of the week. Perhaps it may also be a good idea to mix it up with the refreshment offerings at boardroom meetings too.
Tip three: carry out stand up style meetings
Numerous office workers have also started to carry out stand up style meetings as oppose to the traditional type of business gatherings. One of the main benefits of standing around a conference table for important company discussions instead of sitting around one is that it helps with weight control. This is particularly crucial during the Christmas period. After all, every little helps!
Tip four: keep a positive mind-set through the festivities
No matter what time of year it is, you should always aim to stay positive at all times. Sometimes instead of putting yourself down on how spoilt you’ve been with your food choices during Christmas time remind yourself that you can return to your healthy lifestyle in the new year. Therefore, just enjoy as ‘tis the season to be jolly!
