2. Snowboarding. The technique, as you know, is very similar to skiing. The main difference is sliding up on a board without poles. Since it is a high performance sport, snowboarding improves your flexibility, balance and increases the strength of trunk muscles.

3. Snow racketing. Snow racketing is the winter sport that involves less resistance. It is an optimal sport because it has different levels of difculty, routes and duration, besides, it is also very easy to walk on the snow. With this sport, you can burn up to 1000 calories / hour and you will increase strength, agility, balance and endurance. 

4. Dog sledging or mushing. If you are a fan of winter sports and animals, mushing is your favourite sport. Mushing was not born as a sport but as a means of transport that consists of a vehicle with skates or skis pulled by dogs, in which the guide is standing on top. This modality will help you disconnect from stress and you can practice sport in an entertaining way. 

Sure with these 4 sports you will be able to enjoy and get back in shape after Christmas.
