Came across this article today about Lincoln, Ne. Personally, I’ve thought of Lincoln as a good city to live. What seems like clean air, streets, lots of trees, a good trail network, ect…… No city is perfect but all in all Lincoln, Ne is a good place to live.

It’s that time of the year where the off season takes it’s toll on weight management. There’s less daylight out, temps are plummeting and holiday parties will soon begin. Even as I look out the window the squirrels are doing what they seem to do best, collecting they’re cache of winter food and putting on winter weight to protect them from winter’s on slaught of cold. We really don’t need that extra weight as much as we used to protect us since we live in our climate controlled environments.
So how do you keep that weight in control or shed the typical holiday weight gain? Here’s an interesting study that will help you with the time constraints that are imposed on the majority of people this time of the year. Vary your max efforts to work on the different fitness systems. These are great for the trainer. You’ll get a more exact effort and control from interval to interval.
In general, you’ll want to have a good endurance base before starting these. A good aerobic system to manage the extra input of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. Periodize your intervals ( adapt, build, recover ). Don’t try to make every session a personal best but progress in 3 to 4 weeks to allow for adaption. Most importantly is plan for recovery. These sessions should be performed no more than 2 times a week or more depending on your level of fitness.
Now you have the basics on how to battle the bulge on limited time. Build those base miles first. Then HIT some high intensity intervals. Set that trainer by your window and watch those squirrels knowing that you’ll come out next spring mean, lean and with power.
