Nine must-have products to stay safe, healthy and fit over Christmas

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.

Ultraboost 22

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.

Expect energy return, a responsive midsole and an adaptive primeknit upper to enhance your run.

Buy for £165 from Adidas.

Helly Hansen – H1 Pro Protective Top

Whether you’re off skiing or just want that extra layer on your commute, Helly Hansen’s H1 Pro Protective Top (£220) and H1 Pro Protective Pant (£120) will ward off the elements.

For performance on the slopes, it has protective pads in strategic areas and will keep sweat away from the skin.

Check out the collection at Helly Hansen.

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.
