Time to Join the Holiday Challenge. Guest Blog By Audrey Aickwort. 2011 Burn the Fat Summer Challenge overall champion. Tis the season when young and old are full of good cheer and anticipating the biggest events of the year. Naturally, I’m talking about the 7-week Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle Holiday Challenge. Sure, it’s reasonable to wonder whether another holiday commitment is really your cup of egg nog. But we can see it as a burden or as an amazing opportunity.

What’s the secret to rapid body transformation? I have my own ideas, especially after watching thousands of people TRANSFORM in our Burn the Fat Challenge fitness contests, and seeing nearly 10 years of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle success stories.

Why do I give away so much free stuff and why am I this year, giving away more free stuff than ever? …

Usually they mention proper timing of refeeds, as well as post-exercise nutrient timing tactics, workout timing, planning that big cheat meal just right, fasting before or after and the retroactive damage control strategies after you’ve already made a glutton out of yourself. Better than the aforementioned 3rd grade tabloid stuff, but even the science sites are missing something… something much more human…

What’s really been stopping you from achieving the body of your dreams and why will you NEVER let that stop you again? If you can answer those questions, I can almost guarantee that you’re going to be in the best shape of your life before the summer is over. What’s more, if you’ll post your answer in the Burn the Fat blog comments below, you could win a whole bunch of free stuff – free ebooks and free inner circle memberships – even a FREE trip to Maui!

Every year as Thanksgiving gets closer, you’ve probably seen the depressing reports: “Most people gain between 5 and 10 pounds of body fat in the six weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.” I’m not sure if this worries you or not, but a lot of people are terrified about getting fatter in the next two months. They anticipate the workouts falling by the wayside and the holiday food calling out to them irresistibly, defeating even the strongest willpower. There’s good news and bad news about this.
