12 Days of FITMAS

Part Deux

Just a few tips to keep FIT through the Holiday Season as youre bombarded with goodies, parties, food, liquor & All-Around Fitness-sabotaging treats & follies!!

12. DRINK YOUR WATER

11. If you aren't bringing food to the Christmas parties, you're STUCK with what's served, but you CAN eat a CLEAN meal BEFORE & then you're lest tempted to BINGE at the party.

10. You DON'T have to drink at EVERY Christmas party! Liquor or Dessert... CHOOSE ONE as your cheat.

9. With the Additional Calories, Less sleep and more temptation around the Holiday season, it's even MORE important to STICK TO YOUR WORKOUTS! 30mins (minimum) FOCUSED, PURPOSEFUL MOVEMENT 3-6x/week

8. Give the GIFT of HEALTH: Why not give your "Secret Santa" Something that will help their HEALTH or FITNESS goals

7. Portions Portions PORTIONS! If you want to eat EVERYTHING, have less than a "True Serving" of each! Spread your calories out so you get to enjoy all the goodies, but your caloric intakes don't go through the roof!

6. DONT FORGET TO SLEEP!

5. DRINK YOUR WATER! (*yes... I'm saying it AGAIN!) For Most of us its Winter, we need the additional hydration, because you may not realise you're dehydrated, since you aren't sweating. Also, it will help push out some of the Less-than-Nice Food choices you may have been making.

4. Pick your battles. Love chocolates? Skip the Cookies. Love Egg Nog? Skip the Vino.

3. Go POT LUCK instead of Catering. I know, I know, scary to HOPE your co-workers can cook. But at least you know ONE dish will be FRIENDLY! (*Even if it's ONLY Yours)

2. Get your workouts in IN THE MORNING. We all know those "after work parties" are GREAT EXCUSES not to get your post-work pump in... oh wait THEY AREN'T!!! Do it before work and it's DONE!

1. WHY WAIT?! Forget a NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION! Stage an END OF YEAR REVOLUTION!! Get ready for 2012 starting NOW!

For the first 11days, you have the option of doing it Stacked by Rounds (i.e. 1 round of EACH, until all is complete) OR Knock off each challenge item one by one (i.e. All rounds of one, and so on & so on) & I recommend no more than 30sec recovery between rounds, no more than 2mins rest between items.

The LAST DAY should take 30-45MAX, and the length of time will depend on your speed in the mile & how fast your pace is for the plyo components.

Are you up for the 12 DAYS OF FITMAS CHALLENGE!? Record your daily results & you can send them to me via EMAIL

NOTE: Today is the FIRST DAY > Fastest pace for 1 mile!

LETS GOOOO!!!!
