Whether you’re taking time out at home over the festive season or travelling to your favourite destination, staying in shape while on holiday is never easy. Apart from the constant nibbling, there is also lots of wine and bubbly in the equation, not to mention lazy days binge watching Harry & Meghan or the brand-new season of Emily in Paris. I’ve taken the liberty of jotting down some of the best fitness routines from my time with Ignite Fitness over the past few months. These are all exercises you can easily do at home (or on holiday) and it could even be a fun family activity for all to join in on.
