Christmas is around the corner and after the ordeal of 2020 many of us will be looking forward to indulging in some festive treats.
From Christmas pudding to pigs in blankets, there's lots of delicious food on offer to tempt us away from our healthy eating regimes.
But come the New Year some of us regret our over indulgence, as we head back to the gym significantly heavier than before the festive break.
With this in mind, the experts at GolfSupport.com decided to look into how many exercises we’d have to do to burn off our favourite festive foods.
After finding the top 15 most popular Christmas foods, they calculated the average calories per serving to find out how many squats, burpees, lunges, planks, and jogs you would have to do to burn those Christmas calories off.
But while it's good to know people shouldn't take the list too seriously, as it is Christmas after all.
