The end of the month and a time for celebration or throwing your chips in and calling it quits for christmas?!!!!!
Depends on your current level of fitness and conditioning i suppose!
If you are in good shape, you will raring to go in december and really make further inroads into your body fat and strength levels, i certainly see a lot of people in this situation.
If you are struggling to get workouts in and shop well for good food, then chances are you will be glad to see christmas coming, so that you make a “new year resolution” and lose all the weight after christmas!!!
This is following typical behaviour by most of the population.
I always tell people that december is one of the most important months to train hard and eat relatively well. Of course, you will be having lunches out, evenings out when healthy food may not be on top of the list, and you will be drinking alcohol a lot more too.
Despite all of this, the exercise and effort you put into it will be worth heck of a lot to you.
If you want a wheezy chest, then don’t exercise.
If you want to lower your immune system, then don’t exercise.
If you want your clothes to feel much tighter, then don’t exercise!
If you want to stagger into christmas and face a herculean challenge in the new year again, then don’t exercise!!!
So in december, everyone knows you may well drink more than you should, you will almost certainly eat much more than you should, and your sleep may well be lousy, but despite all of this, commit yourself to exercising throughout the month. This is the greatest christmas gift you can give to yourself, you are nothing if you haven’t got good health so lets keep this uppermost in your mind please!!
