Hello there my Frazier Fitness Family, with the holidays approaching many of us are letting our fitness and wellness take a back seat and letting the shopping, eating, gathering and cooking take the forefront.  Totally understandable, but why not have the best of both worlds?  Why not get your friends and family together for a quick workout before you do one of these things or include a helathy food with a food that you know isn’t too healthy and bring to the family gathering.  There are many ways to skin a cat as to say there are many ways to reach a goal.  Yes, even I plan to enjoy some great family time back in Wisconsin on my mini-vacation but I still plan to get in some killer workouts.  They may be 20 minutes, 30 minutes, maybe even a hour long but I have a goal too reach and I have to lead by example.  Planned already are some workouts with some of my friends whom are top trainers in the game back home and I already got Mom’s set up with her first taste of the TRX style of training I do and possibly a bootcamp back at my old gym.  Cause my holidays yes I will enjoy but not over indulge so some tips for you are :

1. Drink that extra glass of water, your body needs it anyways

2.  Get in a full-body workout- The more large muscles you move, the more calories you will burn.

3. Drink Green Tea.

4. Squat, Deadlift, Push(Chest Press Variations), Pull ( pull-ups, rows, scapular retraction), should be a staple in your arsenal Men & Women

5. Focus on the things you know you are NOT doing, i.e Dynamic Warm-up, Movement Prep, Mobility work, Foam Rolling..Without knowing, this is the most important part of your workout.  Without it how does the body get better.

6. Have extreme focus for the time alloted for your workout..Get In, get Out

7. Track Your Progress, Write it down, type it in your droid or Iphone/ progress pictures..

8. Weigh yourself once a week, early in the morning if able.

9.  Add in something you normally don’t do…Yoga, Pilates, TRX, plyometrics, higher reps, Band Stretching, Self Mobility work, Interval training.

10. NEVER give up.
