DHAKA: The festive season is filled with celebration and enthusiasm. This is also the time when you would like to indulge in your favorite foods. 

To avoid putting on weight, make sure that you exercise well. Here are a couple of exercises that you can do during the festive season, reports The Times of India.

Go for a run in the morning

Since you won't have much to do in the morning, you can easily go out for a jog or run for at least half an hour. Running will ensure that you burn all the excess calories that you have eaten the previous night. It will also boost your metabolism and will make sure that you do not put on weight too easily. However, if you do not wish to go for a jog, you can also walk for an hour on a daily basis.

Yoga works wonders

For those who don't wish to go in for heavy exercises, an hour of yoga and meditation will also work. Make sure that you do it regularly and not miss it so that you stay healthy during the days ahead.

Hit the gym

An ideal way to ensure that you do not put on weight is by working out in the gym whenever you are free. Cardio accompanied by weight training will do the trick.
