Holiday Training Management

This is one of those fun times of the year where we all want to be social, but also are looking to squeeze in training while we can. All this while trying not to run ourselves down and stay as healthy as possible.

Building and Maintaining Strength- Yes, even in busy times of your life, you can build some strength. Even if you’re not quite getting the training in that builds your strength, you’ve likely taken a lot of time and care to build your strength, you don’t want to go back to square one if you can help it, right? Just 1 training session a week, though I’d recommend 2, can help you at the very least maintain what you’ve built. 

Stress Management- When you’re in a busy period of your life, you will undoubtedly be stressed out. Unless you are perfect when it comes to managing your stress on the, then you are going to need take time to relieve it to some degree before you have some sort of break down. Strength training might not be the cure all, but it does the job well for most. You exert yourself, you get back some of your confidence, release some of those endorphins, pretty good stuff if you ask me.

Keep the Sick Bug Away- Not unlike above, when you train during a busy block of life, assuming you don’t train to absolute train-wreck-failure, you can keep that little sick bug away that tends to pop up when we overdo it and our body breaks down. Adjust the weights and your intensity of your training to match your energy, and you’ll keep your immune system in good shape, let alone your body.

 
Hope you find these little bits helpful for you as we get into the New Year as well. Have yourself a week and great end of the year fam!
