who's training over christmas ?

Bodyworks

just curious to see what your thoughts are as regards to training over the christmas period. Are you planning to take a break from training all together for a week or two, or will you try and squeeze in the odd workout over the holidays ? do you think it's more productive to use this opportunity to rest, or will you be one of the weirdo's training boxing day morning like me last year ?

I will probably have Christmas day off and load up on Turkey related nutrients!!

Will def be training up to and including Christmas eve and then resume on the 27th. Def a good excuse for a rest and I intend to let my hair down and get fully involved in the festivities!

it has been a struggle to get into the gym for the last couple of weeks too so im going to use the time off work to get my arse back into gear!

Ill be training throughout xmas/new years.

No excuse for slacking, as its a good excuse to put on fat whilst bulking.

Unfortunately my gym is closed on christmas day/boxing day and new years.

I mean not all of us are religous..... bah!

I take it day by day, see how i feel and know what ive got planned.
Last year i workout once on christmas week and the rest was as normal.

My rules are usually :

Holiday: Enjoy myself, im not a big drinker anyway so its all good
Friends and Best Mates Birthdays: Party only takes a few bottles and im tanked anway
Christmas: See how i feel, tend to eat loads ( dont like mince pies or christmas cake )

rest of the time i dont drink and i only cheat meal once to twice a week
