FROM THE VAULT: With each New Year, millions of people come out of the starting blocks fired up and eyes on the goal ready to make their fitness and weight loss dreams come true. Tried hitting up your local gym lately? It’s like throwing down in a tightly packed 64 color crayon box. Check back …
When it comes to your fitness and making time for it in your life –heck, even getting it done to meet your goals– I find a lot of people struggle around “making it happen”. Excuses are unfortunately easy and since we aren’t movie stars or models who have hours a day to train in preparation …
I’m not sure if you went out and braved the crowds on Black Friday or not, but man– with clogged traffic, huge crowds and sanity-testing lines, that stuff can be bonkers.
