Let's Slay the Season Again!

The leaves are flying and there is snow in the mountains (and in some of our backyards). Before you know it, Christmas carols will be stuck on repeat in your brain. I want to talk to you today about what the next couple of months will hold for your health and fitness. Without serious intention and commitment otherwise, most of us are headed for the fourth quarter slump. The next couple of months represent a host of landmines from busy schedules, holiday parties and happy hours, pumpkin spice everything, and shorter, colder days. However, a commitment to your health and fitness through the end of the year can keep you on track and away from the slump. Think about how it would feel to arrive at January 1 in better shape than you are today and with some solid habits to start the year. It is possible and we can help.

Let’s put some effort into laying down good habits over the next 6 weeks. Connect with some people who are working toward similar goals and steer clear of the frenzy of shopping, eating, and drinking our way through the holidays.

No one likes a good competition more than our community, so we’ve brought back Slay the Season for November and December. We all need a little incentive to make our way to the gym when it is cold and gray or to honor our workout commitment when it conflicts with happy hour. Sure, there are prizes, but the real win is in the commitment to honor your health and fitness through the last weeks of the year. Your physical health and your mental health will thank you. Here is the scoop (and it is a very simple scoop):

Workout at Catacombs an average of 3 times/week (18 times) between November 21 and January 6 and you win! Aside from the health and fitness benefits, you will also be entered into a drawing for one of five $50 Catacombs gift cards. There is no cost to participate!
 

Here are the rules:

• Only one workout per day counts toward your goal, and only 4 stars per week can be added to the chart. Aside from that, you can spread the workouts out over the time period however you want; but remember, consistency is the goal. This helps with travel, holidays, etc. If you average three workouts/week, you will accomplish the goal.
• Workouts can be group class, Sweat!, Strength, or private training with a coach. Coach Joon will also supply a list of travel workouts that can count in a pinch if you post your result and a sweaty post-workout picture to the Catacombs Facebook group. Questions around how to make this work can be answered by Coach Joon.
• You are welcome to do more than three or four workouts per week, but we want to prevent any stockpiling of stickers since consistency is the name of the game!
• We are going old school for tracking and will have all participants on a star chart. Athletes are responsible for adding their own stars to the chart. Coaches will supply stars.
• Sign up sheets are available now. Please add your name prior to Friday so we can prepare the Star Chart. Just go ahead and make the commitment.

I hope you will join us in the Slay the Season challenge. Let’s hold our ground through the holidays or better yet, see what kind of progress we can make.
