Well its that time of the year again when everybody is winding down. The year end holidays are coming in fast. Compliments of the season are in progress. In all the excitement of the holidays lets not forget that it is a well deserved break and it is an especially important time for rest and recovery.
Most people have already planned what to do and the mental break itself is the biggest thing that enhances recovery. In all the enjoyment there are practical things you can do.
1) Have yourself a merry time! - Well this comes with the season! Enjoy yourself thoroughly. Catch up with family and friends. Laugh. Do things together. Unwind!
2) Silent night - This is a good time to get some well needed hours of sleep. Let your body recover and get the stress out. You will be surprised at what just a few days of good sleep for 6-8 hours can do.
3) More than roasted chestnuts!- We can't deny this season comes with a lot of goodies and parties. In all that, eat sensibly. Order your eating right. If you know for sure there is a specific time window you will be eating a lot balance it off with under-eating, juicing or fasting. Make sure whenever you can you are eating more quality and nutrient dense food. This will also keep your energy level high and you will not have energy crashes. It also keeps unnecessary fat off so you will not have to run into the new year with wild training plans.
4) Walking in a winter wonderland - Go for walks. If at all you want to stay active this is one of the best ways to do it. Go walking. Enjoy a nice walk even if it is for 10 minutes in a day. In most cases the winter season has set in. The cool air will give you a neural recharge and freshen your mind.
Rest is vital for your health and there is no better time than this season to do it. You will enter the new year feeling fresh and healthy if you plan your rest and recovery right. Go ahead and enjoy the season.
