Surely more than one of us cannot look at a nougat candy or other typical delicatessen, because during Christmas the food excesses are something normal and widely extended. Here you have some tips for returning to a healthy life, of course, riding our bicycle.

With the holidays at their end, it could result difficult for us to find time to take us care of ourselves. But, if we take advantage of our daily journeys, we can benefit ourselves with the bicycle exercise. You can try starting with short distances, otherwise, on the second day you will be totally exhausted. Mark yourself a realistic training and increase it as you go.

You will see that, little by little, you will gain resistance, something very important for the bicycle, because it is an aerobic exercise, which uses the subcutaneous fat from the muscles as fuel. This exercise will help you to recover your health and improve your cholesterol levels, your breathing (something that you will adapt as you train) and your blood circulation.

Combine it with a healthy diet

The Christmas food is not characterized for being light, for this reason it is important to return to our daily food habits, with less fat and grilled or cooked in the oven, without sauces, but with a lot of love.
