Merry Christmas and more!!!
I’m sure many will be busy this week so I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays to those who do not celebrate Christmas…
And to those who have asked about training during the holiday season, my advice is to enjoy the holidays and don’t stress over missing a day here or there. A few days will not make or break you. Enjoy the time with your family.
Personally, I do most of my training very early in the morning so my schedule rarely changes during the holidays, but I will be taking off Christmas morning. The only thing I’ll be worried that day about is seeing my kids look under the Christmas tree! Lifting iron will be the last thing on my mind.
I may find time for some nature-induced-GPP however. This weekend I enjoyed a marathon session of sled dragging. It was much more fun than a typical sled dragging session however, as the weight in my sled kept yelling “Daddy, go faster!”
All joking aside, running in soft snow is very challenging and tremendous for lower body endurance. Don’t think that running needs to end during the winter. Dress warm and wear some waterproof boots. Find an unplowed area such as an open field and you will have everything you need for a challenging run.
And if you are looking for a finisher after the run, come on down and give me a hand. I’ve still got a long way to go!
Have a great holiday! I’ll likely be back posting on the blog later this week

Merry Christmas Ross!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everybody!
thanks for advice in 2008 ross and the blogs.
happy holidays and happy new year.
I don´t celebrate Christmas but i wish ever a merry Christmas, too. But i´m really familiar with cause i introduced to it automatically when i started school in Germany, so to be honest i like Christmas it´s a part of my childhood.
I wish Ross and his family and all the Ross Training members or workout fanatics a great holiday and that you all will be back healthy and with much more power.
Peace!!!
I wish everyone here a merry christmas!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thanks for this great year on this blog!
Greetings from Austria!
I agree, running in the snow is definitely challenging!
You got a cute little kid there, haha. I wish someone would pull me around in a sled like that, it looks fun
Merry Christmas Ross!

Ross,
Thanks for all you do for the rest of us, but most of all thank you for your example. Not necessarily fitness-wise (which is awesome!), but especially family-wise.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Hey Ross !!! It’s your boy Chuck !!!
See now that’s what i’m talking about Ross. This is what we all need to do. I decided to take the whole week off this week. I’ve just finished coming over 6 weeks of brutal training i’m in the best shape ever, and at this moment i’m going through sum troubles with my Girl and that’s not cool around this time of the year. This is my time to make amends enjoy gifts and enjoy good food. Everyone stay safe have a happy holiday and remember love is the most important thing of all to give for a gift. Ross God Bless you and your family and everyone you love and care about man. Have a great holiday!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family Ross. And Happy Holidays to everyone here at RossTraining no matter how far or near they are.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Ross!
Merry Christmas Ross and family, and Happy Holidays/Happy New Year to everyone at this site!
I heard you guys up north got buried. Send some snow our way! I love shoveling!
I agree with running in an unplowed area Ross! Over the last few days we’ve gotten upwards of 24″ and I have LOVED running along the side of the road in the deepest snow possible. Feels like doing high knees the whole way, and people look at you like you are crazy! Very motivating.
Happy christmas to all of you from Perú!!!
Merry Christmas eveyone!
What a year it’s been. It’s all started here on this website and now i’m on my way to become a personal trainer.
Thank you guys and happy holidays!
Have a blessed and merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas & happy digging
Merry Chrismas to everybody from Germany.

It doesn’t snow here Ross
Ross,
Happy Holidays to you and your family. You have been an inspiration to me not only when it comes to PT (physical training), but as a family man and father. I sincerely thank you for leading by example (family first) and all your lessons in 2008. I look forward to all your work in 09.
