Can you smell it?
Yep the holidays are around the corner! This is the time of year that I dreaded as a fitness professional. I would hear clients almost prepping for their own sabotage. Things like, “oh I hate having bad things in the house, but I need to for the kids.” or “how can you NOT eat the fun stuff during the holidays?!” I began to think we were just in survival mode rather than making progress.
Don’t get me wrong, I am into having a social life, enjoying the holidays, and all that good stuff. However, you need to decide. What is more important to you? Having waaaaayyy too much junk food, or your fitness goals. Sure, have a piece, have a bite, enjoy being with family and friends. Yet, you can still make your fitness goals if you want, if you REALLY want!
One of the simplest ways to stay on track is to just show up! What do I mean?
I use to get so frustrated hearing all the well meaning goals my clients made go down the drain as their dedication to showing up fell off during the holidays. Missed workouts led to even worse eating habits. It became a fast downward spiral where people couldn’t find a good middle ground and stay on track.
Showing up to dedicated workouts makes you think. How much do you want to splurge? How much do you want to negate the hard work that goes into your training? Doesn’t it feel way better to see yourself progressing than regressing?!
People say the holidays are the time of year with the greatest incidence of depression. Yea, there is family stress, financial stress, but here is what most people don’t tell you. Increased sugar and alcohol intake are also a great stress to your body.
This is all good, but the question still looms, “what should I be doing for my workout?”
Envision Owner and DVRT Ultimate Sandbag Master Instructor, Steve Di Tomaso
It is simple to derail good motivation by overcomplicating workouts, especially when you feel so much outside stress. That is why we wanted to be part of your solution, not contribute to the problem.
That is why I asked one of the best coaches at developing fun and effective programs, DVRT Master Instructor Steve Di Tomaso, to create a power packed program.

Steve wanted to develop a simple but highly effective program based around the Ultimate Sandbag Power Clean. Why the Ultimate Sandbag Power Clean?
