Keeping active over Christmas is a lot easier said than done, as staying warm and cozy in the house munching on cheese and watching Christmas films in our PJ’s often seems a lot more appealing than dragging ourselves outside for a run, swim or cycle in the cold weather!
We all have our guilty pleasures that we overindulge in over Christmas, and that’s ok, it is Christmas after all!
