Commence Eating!

For those of you who only check the blog on Mondays, check out my previous post. A few good reads if you have the time and interest.

Tis the season to eat. So eat hearty and don't look back. Please do not hold back on ENJOYING yourselves and the time spent with families. True fitness is residual and aggregate; you will not lose it after a large meal and a few days of rest. In fact, you'll probably come back stronger. Personally, I took 2 weeks off from any lifting because my back was hurting, came back and lifted more than ever. SO fear not, you can have seconds, thirds, fourths, till you pass out. Just save me some leftovers, ;).

Also, "burning-off" yesterday's calories today is a load of nonsense, and many of you have already caught on to that. It's not like you have an over-filled fuel tank that needs to be burned off. Storage happens when your blood sugar remains high for too long. Like perhaps after eating a bunch of donuts and drinking a bunch of beer and soda (yes diet soda too) for a few days straight.

Anyway, here's a couple workouts for you all, and we'll probably post up more closer to the holiday for those that really want to get sweaty before the eat-a-thon. We do encourage you all to get creative about it and involve your whole family. So during the annual football game, losing team has to do 50 burpees. That sort of thing. Aslo, check out mobility WOD. Many of us need mobility work so please take some time to look through this link and do some of the exercises.
