Your Health and Festive Fitness



Festive Fitness Tips with PerformancePro

This month, your health and festive fitness are more important than ever. Let us help you alleviate stress, boost your immunity, avoid weight gain AND enjoy some quality solo time.

As we enter the Christmas period, it can be all too easy to let our healthy habits fall by the wayside. Exercising can often be the last thing on the priority list!

In reality, however, maintaining your fitness levels at this time of year is a priority. There are higher stress levels all around us, plus the shopping, travel and workload, then the inactivity-induced effects like stiffness, poor posture, and weight gain. Exercise is THE best way to combat these factors and safeguard your health and festive fitness.

Combat Stress

Exercise is an incredibly effective stress-reliever, and often is the first thing to get cut when the going gets tough. An article by the Mayo Clinic outlines just how and why exercise can reduce stress levels:

  • Every bout of exercise stimulates your brain to release a cascade of endorphins (your body’s natural feel-good neurotransmitters). This is most commonly referred to as a runner’s high, but the truth is that any kind of activity will have this endorphin-releasing effect.
  • While exercise itself does imitate the effects of stress on your body, it actually trains your body to deal with these effects and provide more lasting relief from stressful situations.
  • Exercise can improve your mood through increased self-confidence, and a reduction in symptoms of mild depression and anxiety. Exercise has also been shown to improve sleep, which can be a major factor in high stress levels.

Boost your Immunity

It’s common knowledge that exercise and good nutrition improve our mental and physical health. Importantly, and thankfully, this also includes safeguarding our immune systems.

Stay Active

Inactivity is the cause of a whole host of problems, including back pain, joint stiffness, and weight gain. We’re not suggesting you don’t take a break over the festive period, but we recommend that staying active is the single best way to counteract any of those effects. Even something simple like taking a walk every day can help, but something more targeted is likely to work better.

Prioritise your Health and Festive Fitness

Here at PerformancePro, we have an evidence-based approach to exercising for the reduction and prevention of back pain and joint stiffness. While we can’t promise that you’ll never experience some pain or stiffness ever again, we can certainly take the right steps with you to reduce the risk as much as possible. Staying active to mitigate weight gain over Christmas time can also seem simple, but it’s much easier said than done.

Our Personal Training is so effective in part because of our clients’ booked appointments. This means you’re far less likely to skip a session, even over the holiday period!

And this year, you can train with your Performance from anywhere in the world thanks to our Zoom Training programmes.

Whether you want to boost your immunity, keep your joints moving, reduce or prevent pain, mitigate some Christmas-inspired weight gain (or have an excuse to get away for some solo time!) booking a session with PerformancePro couldn’t be easier.
