Say Goodbye to Extra Holiday Calories with These Las Vegas Gym Exercises

With a proper workout schedule and a grip on your calorie intake, you’re probably at your ideal weight or slowly getting there. Unfortunately, the holidays could slow the progress and make it harder to achieve your fitness goals. The temptation to snack, sleep in, enjoy a drink, and sneak in an extra plate is high. So, to ensure that your jeans fit after the holidays, we’ve compiled several exercises you can do at home and your Las Vegas gym to stay fit.

Walking

How to Get Rid of Holiday Calories at the Las Vegas Gym or at HomeIt may be tough to get to your gym this holiday season, but you can still get around. Walking has tremendous benefits as a holiday workout for both beginners and seasoned fitness enthusiasts. It’s not overwhelming and doesn’t need equipment, which is excellent for beginners.

Also, while a walk around the block might not offer the same experience as a treadmill at your local gym, it still burns calories. You can admire the terrain and take advantage of varying landscapes during your morning or evening walk. Aim for 30 – 40 minutes per week if you’re still new and build up your pace or time.

Jogging or Running

Jogging and running is an excellent way to enhance weight loss. You can do it at your Las Vegas gym, at home, or your preferred holiday location. It’s an excellent way to start a morning or end a day, especially when there are new sights to see during the run.

However, if the great outdoors is rough on your joints, begin at a Las Vegas gym or home. A treadmill offers a softer jogging platform than the curbside. Alternatively, join the YMCA and enjoy your morning run on the grass.

Cycling

Bicycles aren’t only for kids and enthusiasts this holiday season. Cycling is a fantastic and fun way to manage your weight over the holiday. Imagine the calorie burn you enjoy with each breath and cycle. Also, your bicycle can transport you to new destinations for an early sunrise or divine sunset.

With the right bicycle, you place little pressure on your joints and improve your endurance. As you peddle away, you also decrease the risk of heart disease. What’s more, you can cycle according to your fitness level to reach your daily fitness goals. However, if heading to the outdoors isn’t your cup of tea, visit a local Las Vegas gym for a stationary bike.

Weight Lifting

Weight training is a popular way to manage weight over the holidays. Lifting at home or your Las Vegas gym promotes muscle growth, strength and improves resting metabolic rate, which is essential for fat loss. Small weights are great for at-home workouts because they require minimal supervision and produce little noise.

However, for larger weights, you may want to visit your gym. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of weight lifting without purchasing the equipment. Lastly, your gym has professionals to ensure your safety and wellness.
