JAKARTA - Internal Medicine Specialist at Pondok Indah Hospital, dr. Dias Septalia Ismaniar, Sp. PD reminds people not to forget their physical activities during the holidays in order to maintain their physical fitness.

Dias some time ago said that if the location of vacation choices is a mountainous area, then hiking or trekking can be an option. Meanwhile, if the coastal area, then people can choose to jogging or swim.

"Choose a safe place for tourists and available health facilities. Try to stay in that place you can carry out physical activities, for example in the city center, maybe you will walk a lot around the city, for example to hunt "hidden gems" or "hidden spots" and others, said Dias, quoted from Antara, Saturday 31 December.

Dias said that the selection of vacation locations can be adjusted to a person's personality, for example, preferring a quiet place like a beach or mountain. However, if you are happy with the crowd, you can choose destinations in certain city centers such as conducting a city tour.

Meanwhile, sports medicine expert Elizabeth Quinn, MS, as broadcast by Verywellfit, admits that people will experience disruptions in training for various reasons including holidays.

If a person's goal is to maintain a fitness level for a reduced few weeks of training, then you only need to do moderate exercise for 30 minutes every day.

He advised people to try to plan a unique way to incorporate activities and not be too harsh on yourself if physical activities are less outside the holiday season. Holidays, he continued, require flexibility and balance.
