So this is most likely this last email of the year. I had some grandiose plans of writing a “12 Days of Fitness” guide to surviving the holidays, but I have been so slammed with the success of our new 2XR Program that I just never got around to it.
Plus I could only come up with a few good suggestions and please, 12 days? Really? 12?
So here are just a few things I came up with (12? c’mon)
Still go to the Gym
Santa will understand. I always use the analogy of fitness being like brushing your teeth – it is a lifelong habit that you do no matter what. Do you brush your teeth on Christmas? Well then you should make the time to work out. Ok, maybe the day after (but you should still brush your teeth.) Oh yeah, “cardio” does not count.
Don’t be an Idiot
I really should not have to tell you that at all. But some people lose their senses around the holidays. It is not a good time to say “F” it for weeks on end and eat like a pig and drink like a fish. That is just plain stupid. Keep your holiday cheer (consumption) to a minimum. Enjoy the food, enjoy the drink and enjoy the people (even your family if you can). So realize the position has been filled so there need not be anymore jolly fat men or women at your house.
Give Yourself a Break
No matter if you were on Santa’s naughty list, or his nice list- cut yourself some slack. Even if there is nothing but coal in your stocking, take some time for yourself. Take a day off from your life. Everything will be there when you get back.
Carter Fitness will be here when you get back too.
