I don't usually promote other blogs on my own but this one is from Steve Edwards, co-creator of P90X. Steve is a great fitness person since he does some of the toughest sports out there (without actually racing in a Spartan Race, Ha Ha!). Steve bikes, runs, and climbs. He is also a sort of Renaissance Man as far as fitness goes. He does not stop with lifting or indoor cycling or running miles on end or keep his workouts confined to the gym. He lays out the P90X2 program a little but mostly as a tease.
There also a link to an evolution of the programs Steve has helped to develop. Take a read. I kept my blog short to give you time for his blog and time to get your sweat on today. Now read a little and go work out!
I can be a computer idiot sometimes so you might have to copy the link and paste it in your browser.

Actually Losing Weight over the Holidays
You can start a diet and exercise program during the holidays but you should get some support.
Your friends who invite you to their party do not want you on a diet and you can bet they don't want you doing air squats between Karaoke Carols. So what are you to do? here are a few ways to begin or maintain a weight loss regimen this holiday season (if you can do it now then you can do it at any time during the year!):
1- Most important is to enlist a group of friends to begin together. There are great programs that offer community support, a key cause of success in any behavioral change. (http://www.teambeachbody.com/connect/beachbody-challenge?tracking=BEACHBODYCHALLENGEDOTCOM)
2- Take a before Photo! This alone scares the Hell out of most people. It is a phenomenal way to stay motivated. If you don't like how it looks then start today to change it. Imagine what you will look like in a year if you don't change your behavior today.(refer to #3)
3- Set a goal and put it on paper. Now to make it real: Imagine how you will feel if you achieve your goal. Now imagine how you feel in 1 year if you have not achieved your goal. Write this down or put it on your computer and print it! Look at it every day.
4- Take a picture of everything you eat. That's right! Everything! this will change your behavior by simply making you aware of what you are eating. Most People will choose a healthier option simply by being aware of what they are eating.
5- Make it a Competition! Put some money on the line! Don't like betting for money? Bet something else - sweeping, a movie, a trip. Bet all of your friends. Whoever loses the most or changes the most wins. More inches can then beat out more pounds lost to allow for muscle gain.
Now set yourself up for success by choosing 60 or 90 days. You and your friends can all keep at it for 60 - 90 days. If you start this Sat with me in NYC that will take you to about Valentines Day if you go for 90 days. That could be a great V-day celebration.
