21 Day Holiday SHRED Challenge

Have you already accepted that you’re going to gain weight during the holidays?

Tradition, family drama, and minding your manners all play a part …

… but many people seem to actually be OKAY with packing on the pounds this time of year!

I am here to tell you, it doesn’t have to be that way.

And so, for the first time EVER, we are going to do a 21 Day Holiday Shred Challenge at FVT.

It kicks off the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and runs until the week before Christmas.

It is SPECIFICALLY designed to combat overfeeding, and help you once again avoid turning the Holiday season into an unintentional “bulking” phase ????

We’ll have a meal plan for you to follow, and a Holiday Shred “virtual” Nutrition Workshop for participants …

Special workouts for Challengers AND bonus boot camp workouts for new AND current clients …

Awesome prizes up for grabs, including an Amazon Echo, a free month of unlimited boot camp and a free personal training session with Forest …

And for the first folks to register, we’ll even have free T shirts!

You can’t sign up just yet, but I wanted to give you a heads up.

If you are interested, keep an eye out for regisration opening later this week.

And let’s get SHREDDED this Holiday season!!

Best Stretch for Tight Hips?

Kettlebell lifting, and other hard training, can lead to tight hips.

Spend the day sitting, and the problem quickly becomes worse.

Enter the “Couch Stretch”.

Dr. Kelly Starrett invented – or at least recently popularized – this awesome move.

It’s one of the best stretches for tight hips.

And maybe the best part – you can get it done while you’re watching your favorite TV show! :)

THE COUCH STRETCH

– Start by standing in front of a couch
– Put your back knee on the couch and keep your front leg on the ground
– Put your back foot up against the back of the couch
– Point the back toe
– Squeeze your glutes, and the glute of the up leg in particular, to stabilize your lower back and correctly position the hip joint
– With the butt squeezed, dril the front of the hip towards the ground
– Work on this daily for at least 60 seconds per side

Try doing the Couch Stretch daily for a week – 60 seconds each leg, each day – and pay attention to the change you can create.

PS – For tight hips, I also recommend you check this out.

REGENERATE is a simple recovery program, designed specifically for lifters and athletes.

It is a combination of yoga poses, static stretches, core exercises and more combined into simple sequences that take 3 to 6 minutes to do, that require no special equipment.

Not to mention, they will also help you reduce chronic pain, improve mobility / flexibility, and feel amazing!
