Celebrate The 12 Days Of Liftmas With Holiday-Themed Workouts

The holiday season is a time filled with shopping, decorating, and festive activities like ice skating. But to help prevent injury this Christmas, consider adding some holiday-themed exercises to your routine. These movements are designed to prevent common injuries that can occur while preparing for the season's activities.

Customized Fitness Program: GYMGUYZ Greater Tulsa personalizes each workout session to meet their clients' needs and fitness goals. The sessions are one-on-one with a personal trainer to help with form, technique, and offer motivation. "We come to you, and we make it creative," Bosch said. "The workout you are going to do, no one else is going to do because it is customized for you."

Convenient Solution to Working Out: GYMGUYZ Greater Tulsa does in-home personal training eliminating the need to travel to a gym. This method saves time and often makes it easier to incorporate workouts into a person's busy schedule. Bosch said, "We help fitness fit into your schedule, so we will come to your home, we meet you with your goals, and we set up a customized plan for you."

1. Overhead Press: Begin by holding dumbbells at shoulder height. Extend your arms overhead, keeping a slight bend in your elbows. This movement mimics placing decorations on your Christmas tree, a task that often involves reaching overhead. To modify, use lighter weights or skip them altogether. Aim for eight repetitions.
2. Lunges: Step out into a lunge position, placing your foot flat on the ground and your opposite knee nearly touching the floor. This exercise simulates picking up heavy boxes, a common task during the holiday season with all the online shopping deliveries. Perform lunges with or without weights, depending on your fitness level.
3. Reverse Flies: Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Hold weights in front of you, then bring them outward in a reverse fly motion. This movement is designed to simulate opening presents, a familiar holiday activity. Use lighter weights if needed, especially if you're new to the exercise.

These exercises are easy to do at home and can be modified for different fitness levels.
