Holidays

With the approaching holiday season, most athletes are entering the worst time of the year. Office parties, cookie exchanges, family gatherings, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Six weeks of family and food. How to survive without alienating family and friends while still maintaining some level of fitness?

I like to start each day during the holidays with either thirty minutes running or on the trainer. That way I've got my workout in before I hit the food. You would be amazed how much damage you can control with just thirty minutes. Will you lose some fitness? Maybe a little but at least you won't be starting from nothing on New Year's Day.

So remember, before you hit the party seen, hit the training. It'll make January that much easier.
