    Why would you stop?
    This. Why wouldn't you stick to your routine?
    Absolutely. Besides, I have my eye on a piece of chocol......erm....on reaching some fitness and weight loss goals by the end of the month. That keeps me focused. And I will still have good times, too. No Scroogey gym rats or couch fluffs in my house.

    This will be my 1st Christmas 'on track' but I have a walk planned on Xmas Eve with my Dad and have mapped a 5k route back at my Folks (where I'm spending Christmas) for a run on Xmas morning. I have also entered a 5k New Years Eve night run so will be behaving myself until at least 9pm on NYE!

    This is in part to keep me focussed on making sensible (if not healthy!) decisions and in part becaus ethese days I find just sitting in an overheated house drives me stir-crazy.

    Just wondering, how many men continue their regular exercise program during the Christmas season and how many women? :huh:

    I plan to be at the gym up to 5 days a week during the holiday season. I am participating in not one, but TWO challenges at my gym. One is called "santa slimdown" and the goal is to maintain, or continue losing weight during the holiday season instead of gaining weight. The other is called the "december 600" , and the goal is to exercise ( at the gym) at least 600 minutes in December. Despite a snow day and a death in the family, I am at 330 minutes so far, and on track to hit at least 600 for the month. At 1200 or 1400, you get entered into a drawing for a tablet computer.

    I'm going out of town to visit my in-laws the week between Christmas and New Years, but the YMCA in their town will honor my local membership, so I can still keep to my normal exercise regime.

    I stick to my routine of running 3 miles a day. It's built into me like brushing my teath. I've been doing this for 2 years.

    I will exercise, but not my usualy routine. I will be away for 2 weeks, so no gym. But, I plan on being really active with the kids - hiking, walking, etc.

    I'll be spending Christmas in a small town so I won't have access to a gym with barbells for my current routine. So no, I won't be able to continue my workout over the holiday.

    I only have Christmas Day and Boxing Day off this year so I'll be making use of the extremely quiet office gym when everyone else is on holiday.

    But my father is staying with me for the holidays and I only see him for once a year at most so NO I will not be bailing on him to spend hours in the gym. Family is important.

    My gym is open 24/7/365. We have a holiday lifting group (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, & New Years) and every time the turnout gets bigger than before.

    No reason not to stay on track.

    I don't have an exercise program, I follow a training regime and that regime doesn't care what time of year it is. If there is a workout on the calendar, it gets done.
