Workout Modifications
This is sound advice at the perfect time of the year! As a personal trainer I tell my clients not to through sanity to the wind by abandoning exercise and supportive eating all together. I tell ’em the best time to exercise is not to wait til Monday or worst New Years, but the very best chance you have.
