‘Tis the season, my friend! No matter what you celebrate (or don’t) during these dark, cold months of winter, it’s definitely the season of taking your workouts down a notch.
Sometimes that’s intentional, and sometimes it’s just the way life goes.
But here’s what I want you to know (and it’s NOT “summer bodies are made in the winter,” which is a phrase I truly cannot stand): your body has SEASONS just like Mother Nature.
The reason you feel less motivated in the winter is because your body simply can’t go go go all year long.
This is the season of rest, recovery, and shifting focus. This is a fantastic season to explore different workouts, and let yourself have some fun. This is the season for enjoying your friends, your family, and yes, the food.
Relaxing your grip doesn’t mean you’re letting go. It means you’re taking a breather before you grip tight again in a few weeks.
This week’s Mini Challenge workouts aren’t “easier” than normal, but you can take them at whatever pace feels right for this season.
Enjoy your December, Killer B!
