“Forget your excuses. You either want it bad or don't want it at all.”
The holiday seasons is one of the greatest times of the year. Time with family and friends, a time where we can focus on our loved ones in the season of giving. But it’s also one of the worst times of the year when it comes to excuses on not focusing on your health and wellness. Let’s face it the holidays are stressful…like really stressful. With the family and friends everyone wants your time and you want to give it to them. In the mix of all that many people neglect the gym. It’s one of the first ‘hobbies’ to go out the window.
If you’re anything like me. That alone causes anxiety, it’s not the fact that I’m getting ‘less fit’. It’s because this time of year exercise helps manage my stress. When I train I get to focus on nothing but the next rep. I don’t have to worry about the presents I need to get, errands I need to run, the upcoming family/business event. I just focus on the next rep, that’s all I have control over.
I encourage all of you to create a timeline of each day the next couple of weeks. Put the must downs first - kids, work, trips to and from work, grocery store runs, etc. Then put in a time to workout. If you can’t make it to the gym. No worries, I have a “At home workout guide” thats all body weight exercises you can use (see link below). Stay healthy physically and mentally this holiday season. Enjoy the time with friends and family. Give your time and be present when your with the loved ones.

CrossFit Journal Article: Why CrossFit Coaches are the Best in the Business by Brittany Saline
”A CrossFit coach cares about strengthening your mind just as much as your body, and because CrossFit coaches mission is rooted in service, odds are they’ll be there to support you both in and outside of the gym….”
