What’s up, team?! The holiday season is upon us and you know what that means: extended periods of travel or visiting family and friends that limits your time spent in the gym. Combine that with a little extra food and drink during the holidays, and we have a recipe for a minor setback. But no worries. We come prepared today to discuss how you can address this challenge.
Foremost - you have to commit to finding time for fitness. An hour is fantastic. Gold standard. 30 minutes is awesome. If you’re in a bind, even 15 minutes will do. Consistency is the most important thing.
Back in 2022 when I joined CrossFit Renew, I participated in the 90 Day Journey offered to our newer athletes. Little did I know that after joining in October, come November, I would spend most of the next two months traveling for work and holidays. In seven weeks, I spent a full five of them away from home and Renew. The two weeks I was around, I was sick with COVID from my air travel.
At the end of my 90 Day Journey, my proudest accomplishment was that of the 35 days I traveled, I found a way to workout 21 times (about 4 days a week). For someone practically brand new to fitness, finding that consistency is what propelled me to still be here today. Here’s some proof: my 2023 goal review.

So how can you find that consistency in travel and holiday times?
