Be different this year…My Secret to My Success

Let me share MY secret strategy I used for years when Thanksgiving and the holidays came around.

From age 20 to 29 years old I used to play in an annual high school football game every Thanksgiving Day in Manhattan Beach, California where I grew up.

All my high school buddies would meet up for this game on our old campus. Friends of mine went to schools all over the country and this was a great time for everyone to get back together.

While many of my friends had gained weight from college diets and excessive living.

 I would secretly train for this game.

I would lift weights and do sprints and really get ready for this game months before.

The catch 22 with this game was once the game started everyone was going to play really hard and if you weren’t in shape you were going to feel it.

I looked at this game every year as a bench mark to train for and look forward to.

As the years passed I never gained weight over the holiday season because I was busy training… and I enjoyed Thanksgiving eating like everyone else.

The difference was I had burned 1,000 calories in the morning before Thanksgiving.

The second part of my secret was I never used Nov, Dec, as an excuse to not train.

I found exercise helped me and continues to help me in stressful and busy times.

I used the lead up to Thanksgiving as a way to train consistently and once the game took place I just kept training.

This holiday season I challenge you to be different.

If you are going to take days off. Take only a handful.

You’ve got Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. That puts you at 4 actual days to take off. (An added rest day once a week is fine too Sunday)

Besides that, I challenge you to keep training this year.

We do a Holiday Fit Challenge in December to help you stay on track. 

Bottom line is you can do great this year by committing and stay focused when others don’t.
