Did you work out over Thanksgiving? Don't you think you should have?

Holidays always present a special challenge to a regular routine. What should we do when they come up? What can we do? What do we do? Should we consider changing?

A person in training ought not to miss a day for any reason. That may sound harsh, but that is how an Olympic coach would see it. Workouts should be the same as brushing one's teeth. One simply does that whether he or she feels like it not. That's because they're as good for you as the use of your toothbrush.

Why do too many of us see working in such a different light? We would never think of going to Thanksgiving dinner, not having used our toothbrush beforehand. Yet when it comes to working out, we see this as something  completely different.

Actually the flossing and brushing after the festive meal is more important than the the one beforehand. The one prior to  going is for show as it were, for attractiveness. You want to show up with that broad friendly smile. You wouldn't think of being any different.

After dinner, there is always the food residue problem to be concerned with. Food just causes trouble with one's teeth, so you brush and floss afterward to prevent any trouble from occurring. Why wouldn't you do the same for your body with a brisk after dinner walk? How many of us go on one of these after a holiday meal?

But,a workout before you go is crucial as well. Everyone wants to be optimistic, friendly, and clear thinking. There's no better way to get this way than to do your morning run or whatever it is that you do.

Working out gets one ready for the day. It escalates the thinking processes, elevates the attitudes, creates a health optimism. It also decreases the need for food during the day. What a boon would this be for the person who is concerned with being unable to say no to thirds on the pumpkin pie and gravy.

The typical American belief is that holidays  are for rest and relaxation, Why can't doing a workout make them even more restful and relaxing?
