Ladies, I'm going to ask you today, right now, to make a COMMITMENT to your workouts this month. Commit Right now to train at least three times per week from now till the end of December. As we enter into the Holiday season, It may get harder and harder to squeeze in those workouts. We can get distracted by shopping for the perfect gift, holiday baking, Christmas parties, and decorating our homes, and it gets easier to blow off our workouts to create more time for holiday festivities. Girls, this is one of the most glorious, but stressful, times of the year. If ever there was a time to be truly committed to your training, it's during the Month of December. With overindulgence in holiday food, stress levels on the rise, and the free flow of alcohol during this time of the year, it's essential to stay emotionally and physically balanced by honoring that commitment to your training. Unfortunately, this is the month when most people are "Too Busy" to get to the gym. Why do we think that blowing off a workout will free up more time? In reality, training hard will give you so much energy that the time you do have will be way more productive...  And, we all know the mental and emotional benefits of a great workout. Training hard helps you to feel empowered, in control, and acts as an antidepressant. We all have issues. BUT, I know that my issues are much less stressful in hindsight after a workout. Call it Endorphins or the release of  pent up adrenaline - whatever it is, it works. A great workout sometimes is better than a therapist, better than a hot bath, better than a good up of coffee, and (sometimes!) better than sex. So, will you make the committment to take care of yourself and stay true to your training this Christmas?  I'm in! Leave a Comment about your commitment!
