Get Fit Before Santa Comes

As ridiculous as I am going to sound to you, I am going to say it anyway: It is almost the time of year that America is going to get fat. Now, this is not getting your wallet fat, this getting your stomach fat. It is almost time for Thanksgiving and Christmas, when people just can’t resist those delicious yet unhealthy foods. That’s why it is so important to get in some kind of shape either before or during the holidays so people won’t have throwing-up fests to try to lose their holiday weights.

It is important to be in good shape in all seasons, but especially during the holiday seasons, because there are some dads who are going to try to please their kids by imitating the role and style of Santa Claus. First of all, guys, you are going to have fit through the chimney because having you stuck doesn’t do your kids any good. I know that’s to the extreme, but it is nice to be in shape knowing full well that those sweet goodies won’t damage too much of your body type.

Obviously, first to get in shape, you need to get a check up from your doctor because you need to make sure everything is in order since your spouses would not want you lying on the ground in pain since you are too lazy to check in with your doctor about working out. Your spouse might usually like surprises, but not those. Secondly, start slowly and work your way up. Too many beginners start too fast and ending up hurting themselves; instead of losing weight, they are lying on their bed, injured, and gaining weight. Write down your everyday workouts so you can know what you did today and write down how you felt. This is extremely essential because your notes can be the tell tale of whether to increase your workout workloads or decrease.

After workouts have slowly begun, try to make it an everyday thing. The hardest part of a workout regimen is continuing it and nothing could be better than having a best friend tagging along as a workout partner. Prepare your workouts with your partner, be organized in the goals you want to accomplish. Lastly, speaking of goals, set short term goals because long goals often get lost in the shuffle, just like your desire to become President at the age of 5.
