But Xmas is also a busy time and it’s hard to stay fit and healthy, and understandably fitness goals go out the window. It’s the reason most of us put a fitness regime into our New Year resolution after indulging during the season of goodwill.

We’ve put together some tips on how to stay on track throughout the season of over-indulgence.
