If you know me, you know I tend to question traditions - both in my training style and in my life.

To me, a so-called Christmas "tradition" that's been around for 200 years - only 10% of all Christmases ever - is not a true tradition.

Yep, that includes ornaments, lights, and even The Tree! (Crazy - I know.)

But I get it ...

The decorating, the gatherings, the shopping – it's a whirlwind that can easily sweep away your routines.

It's okay to miss a workout or indulge a little during these festive times. (As if you need my permission😉)

Besides, the science tells us a few festive treats, a "bevvie" or two, or a few late nights won't undo all your hard work.

However ...

Consistency is key in any health journey.

A quick workout, a nutritious meal, and staying hydrated are all small but powerful acts of self-care that keep you on track, even amidst the holiday chaos.

Keep in mind:
* A little exercise usually makes you feel better
* Eating right (on your terms) usually makes you feel better
* Skipping that last drink usually makes you feel better

(No one wakes up at noon the next day thinking, "I should have had even MORE alcohol last night.")

So, as you navigate this festive season, remember to balance (again, on your terms) short-term enjoyment with your long-term wellness goals.

One our personal training clients at our gym in Timonium just asked me a question I get virtually every day from women over 45: “How do I lose this [grabs body part]?” I told her my signature sound bite bite: “You have no more control over where you lose fat than you did over where you gained it.” I’ve heard a couple of respectable trainers say they have $ystems (clever, huh) that will burn body fat in specific parts of your body. It may sound really good and may even “work“– but only to a barely discernible degree and with a huge expenditure of your valuable time. Don’t waste your time with isolated spot reduction exercises. Compound exercises (that’s using multiple joints) are far more efficient and effective. Here's proof ... Experimenters asked one group of women to do upper body exercises only while another group did lower body exercises only. Both groups of women lost fat in the same pattern regardless of what exercises they did. Where you gain fat - and where you
