Yours Baldly is in a spot of bother.
Jess has been bending my ear because I neglected to give her sufficient credit for coming up with “The Christmas Survival Guide”.
(I have mentioned her contribution to the proles on LinkedIn, but not to my loyal email subscribers.)
This is a grave error, and one I shall now rectify.
Here’s the story:
My thin, attractive, pregnant wife and I were out walking together with our immaculately behaved children as our family is wont to do.
I mentioned to her how I had been discussing Christmas with our accountant, and we got to talking about how few (if any) people are likely to sign up for a three month personal training programme in December.
Fair enough, in my opinion.
For many, the tail end of the month is a flurry of late nights, early starts, travel, food, and merriment or misery depending on the state of one’s familial relationships.
It’s not a time you really want to start anything new – doubly so if it involves a significant upheaval to your existing routine and habits.
Instead, your focus ought to be on maintaining the results you’ve spent the year busting your backside for.
Why?
Three reasons:
1) You can back off a little, adopting a flexible approach that keeps things ticking over without intruding on your ability to spend time with family and friends,
2) Training efficiently and effectively mitigates the damage caused by the inevitable dietary dalliances, and will probably reduce the likelihood of you over-indulging, and,
3) You won’t have to summon the motivation to start training again in the New Year (unplanned breaks are the number one cause of people falling off the wagon with their training, in my experience).
Hence, Jess suggested I create an email course mansplaining a method of maintaining results over Christmas.
She opted for an email course over a book or webinar because it facilitates daily contact for accountability, ease of consumption, and good old fashioned companionship (I know from experience Christmas can be a paradoxically lonely time).
So that is what I created.
Turns out the Strong Empowered Wimmin of LinkedIn were wrong and Jess is good for more than looking pretty, cooking delicious food, and bearing my children.
Anyway.
You can join “The Christmas Survival Guide” for a mere £60.
I am closing admission at 23:59 on the 14th of December.
