Staying fit over the chilly Christmas period is always a struggle, but we’ve got some ideas to help.
If you’re feeling the chill during your outdoor workout, there’s some protective thermal underlayers, or if you’re immune system has been hit, try a boosting winter cleanse.
But as we approach the shortest days of the week it’s particularly important to stay safe while you’re out and about, which is why this week’s Fit List includes an app that tracks your travel late at night.
Doing Dry January next month? Pop in to Regent’s Streets brand new alcohol-free off-licence to pick up some tee-total tipples.
Lululemon InStill Tights
Lululemon’s InStill Tights could be the comfiest yoga pants yet. They’re made from a new performance fabric that is super-soft and cocoons your legs.
There’s a high waistband in the front and back for extra coverage, too.
Buy for £108 from Lululemon.
Habitat Half Parasol Christmas tree
Christmas is stressful enough without the constant worry of toddlers and pets pulling the tree down on top of them, or nibbling at your baubles.
Thankfully, Habitat’s Half Parasol Christmas tree is a no-brainer. The six-foot tree has its faux stems out of reach of curious paws and hands.
Buy for £50 from Habitat.

Ladies, meet the Ultraboost 22. Specifically designed for women, the Adidas running shoe has been given a full 360° fit improvement based on the female anatomy.

Follo Walking App
Follo is the must-download app for late night travel on foot. It monitors your journey and if you start moving significantly faster, deviate from your chosen route, stop moving for too long, or if it becomes disconnected, Follo will check on you.
If no reply, it alerts key contacts via SMS with your last recorded location and the reason for the alert.
