MID-DECEMBER CRISIS

You are standing knee deep in December and if you don't act now - today - you'll be buried by year's end. Shopping marathons, parties, family feasts, Costco, kids and Toys-R-Us incite traffic jams, work pandemonium and mass disorder.

You look pale. Say ahhh. Do you feel dizzy, chilly, hot, sweaty, faint and out of control? You're no doubt experiencing a mid-December crisis and the only antidote known to man is exercise.

It's imperative that you do not miss another workout. The gym and your training are your reference points, stabilizers and detoxifiers. Cut your workouts in half, but don't cut them out. You'll stay in shape and the insidious training gap that twists the mind more than the body will never develop.

Now is the perfect time for the world famous Draper Slumpbusters... mighty supersets devised for short and intense training bursts. They're challenging, they work, and they're free at the link above!

Bring your sneakers and sweats for a quick pump. Catch the news or sports on the CardioTheater or listen to your favorite CD as you watch close caption TVs and run a mile or two on the treadmill. Bring your friend, bring your dog.

Merry Christmas and God bless you.
