December 2009
Every year we're confronted with the daunting task of getting through the holidays without foregoing our diet and fitness programs and sabotaging all of the hard work we've put in the year before. It's like once Halloween arrives, we're all destined to a life of solitude while dodging cocktail parties and ditching holiday dinners in an attempt to keep our flat tummies and toned legs.
There's no reason to become a hermit this holiday season. The December 2009 issue of FitnessRx for Women is chock full of workouts and nutrition information, enough for you to have your cake and eat it too! Try our Holiday HIT (upper and lower body) workouts on pages 60 and 72. These workouts are geared towards boosting your heart rate and burning more calories in a shorter period of time. You'll have more time to spend with friends and family at your holiday gatherings and you won't have to worry about eating too much.
For those of you looking to continue your total body transformation, check out the FitnessRx 'Lean and Fit' 30-Day Nutrition Plan for Optimum Fitness and you'll discover how simple it is to change your body with food. This plan even tells you what to eat and when. The 'Lean and Fit' plan ditches the idea of counting calories and focuses on consuming the right macronutrients (protein, healthy fats, and carbs) throughout the day. You'll have more energy to workout harder and be eating the right foods to burn fat. With this plan you'll never be hungry. You're even given 'free' meals on the weekends. What program allows you to indulge and still lose fat?! Try it today. If you've got questions, you can find the author on the FitnessRx for Women forums everyday. Don't be shy, she's a real down to earth girl who's willing to help. Remember, there are no stupid questions. 
On top of all this, you'll find Alicia Marie on the cover. She's so inspirational and beautiful. Inside Alicia provided us with her Top 50 Holiday Nutrition, Fitness and Fat Loss Tips (pg 54). Tip #29: Eat Vegetables like they are going out of style. I consider these 'free' foods! Grab some lemon juice, spices, and make them yummy! -Alicia Marie.
