9 fitness exercises to stay fit during the holidays

Christmas is around the corner. Many students leave their everyday student life for the holidays and spend the holidays with their loved ones. This is often combined with one or two holiday roasts, chocolate Santa Claus and many other delicacies. There isn't much time left for going to the gym. So that you can still keep moving during the holidays, we'll introduce you to nine simple fitness exercises that you can do almost anytime and almost anywhere without any problems.

Holiday Fitness Exercise #1 – Biceps Made By Christmas Shopping

Before the big Christmas party can begin, groceries have to be bought. Volunteer to take on this unpleasant task. You can use the queue in the supermarket for muscle training: simply grab the handlebar at the bottom and lift the fully packed shopping cart like a dumbbell and set it down. Tense your pelvic floor.

Fitness exercise for the holidays #3 – Finger exercise for on the go

While the great aunt from Sauerland repeatedly talks about how everything used to be better, in addition to politely nodding, you can also inconspicuously train your chest and back muscles.
