🎄 Christmas Gains: How to Stay on Track During the Holidays – Re-Rack University
💬 The Holiday Trap (and How to Dodge It)
The lights are glowing, the cookies are calling, and discipline starts to fade faster than your December gym attendance.
We get it — it’s Christmas. Family, food, and good times. But let’s be honest: the barbell doesn’t care what month it is.
At Re-Rack University, we believe you can enjoy the holidays and keep your momentum. You don’t have to choose between Christmas cheer and your goals — you just need a plan.
🎅 1️⃣ Train Before the Chaos
The best way to enjoy Christmas dinner guilt-free?
Earn it.
Get your workout in early — even if it’s short. 30 minutes of lifting, cardio, or bodyweight training keeps your metabolism humming and your head clear.
If gyms are closed, hit a home workout: push-ups, squats, planks, burpees. It’s not about perfection — it’s about showing up.
🍽️ 2️⃣ Pick Your Treats — Don’t Graze All Day
Holiday grazing is what wrecks progress — not the meal itself.
Enjoy your favorite foods, but be intentional.
Pick what you really want — the cookies, the stuffing, the pie — and skip the mindless snacking between meals.
🧠 3️⃣ Hydrate Like It’s a Workout
Cold weather and rich food make people forget water.
Dehydration can make you feel sluggish and hungry.
Drink a full glass before every meal — it’ll help with portion control and recovery if you’re enjoying a few holiday drinks.
🥩 4️⃣ Keep Protein Front and Center
Every plate should have a protein anchor — turkey, chicken, ham, or even protein shakes if needed.
Protein keeps you fuller, stabilizes blood sugar, and helps muscle recovery.
Think of it as Re-Rack Fuel.
🕯️ 5️⃣ Don’t Skip the Next Session
After Christmas, don’t wait for “New Year’s motivation.”
Get back in the gym, hit your compound lifts, and re-rack your weights like nothing changed.
Momentum is your best gift to yourself.

🧠 The Re-Rack Mindset
Discipline doesn’t take a holiday.
You can celebrate without losing what you’ve built.
Enjoy the people, enjoy the food — but remember the mission.
When January hits, you’ll be ahead of everyone who said, “I’ll start after the holidays.”
💪 Final Takeaway
Christmas is about gratitude — and there’s no better way to show it than by respecting your health, your discipline, and your grind.
From all of us at Re-Rack University —
Merry Liftmas. Stay strong. Stay consistent. Re-rack everything. 🎅💪
