Tis' the Season..........

For pulling, of course!!

Holiday cheer, trays of sweets, over-indulgent feasts.....all have been around every corner for the last couple of weeks. The Holiday Season has been in full gear and the BIG day has now come and gone. New Years is days away and one more week of party time still awaits. Nothing really new, right?

For me this year, the temptations seem a bit more severe and my will power a bit weaker. So what is that all about anyway? As I have pondered this thought, I have come to realize that letting the guard down and cheating a bit for a short while is nothing too severe and actually probably pretty healthy (mentally especially) in the long run. As long as it is short lived respite to re-fuel for the serious work ahead. And, as long as one maintains a fairly vigorous overall work load, the cheating on the other end isn't the end of the world. It IS the Season after all and its about fellowship, giving and thanksgiving in the end.

However, as the days days before Christmas winded down and now in that awesome time of reflection between Christmas and New Year, I have been ULTRA impressed with the entries into the Anywherefit STEELFIT pull up challenge. Based on the variety and intensity of the several videos shared, the gingerbread cookies and Holiday punch don't seem to have had any influence on these guys. I-beams, parking garages, outdoor decks, beaches, snow covered fields....I love seeing the ideas come together and definitely love the main attraction (pull ups) getting its due recognition.

So, while some may be tending to the fire, roasting chestnuts and drinking Hot Toddies, I'll raise my glass to the guys still out there working hard........... 'Tis the Season.........for pulling'

Anywherefit Pull Up Challenge

Blair Morrison from Anywherefit has challenged his fans and followers to his latest video challenge. This time, in partnership with STEELFIT. The idea is really pretty simple; make and submit a video of a Pull Up "centric" work out, in honor of the STEELFIT passion for pull ups. The Workout should be fun, creative and can include just about anything, as long as it incorporates pull ups as the leading character.

Blair and his buddies got the ball rolling with the video below; setting the bar high. I have been following the Anywherefit blog and it appears like there will be many takers. STEELFIT can't wait to see the submissions.

The kicker.........winner of his challenge gets a STEELFIT Pull Up Bar........we will be watching closely!!
