There are ways to eat, drink, and be merry with your loved ones over the holidays without totally derailing your fitness. In this clip from episode 079, Jocelyn and David talk handy tips and tools we have available to you at CrossFit BRIO to stay on track through December. No need to arrive at January feeling like a total bag of sh*t!
Visit crossfitbrio.com/outsidethebox for at-home workout ideas for when you holiday plans take you away from the gym.
At BRIO, we love our traditions and we have many. But coming up on Dec 25 is the greatest of them all:
150 Burpees, for time
It started as just a few of our earliest members getting in an at-home workout when the gym was closed for the holiday and over the last nearly 2 decades has snowballed into a full on Christmas Day Burpee Bonanza. In living rooms and kitchens, on ski hills and beaches, at work and in grandma's basement hundreds of thousands of burpees have been completed by members of the BRIO family far and wide. Why?? Who knows! It's just what we do!
The only rule is that the burpees must be completed within the 24 hours of Dec 25. Be sure to share your photo in the BRIO Community Group on our website/app or tag us on Instagram @crossfitbrio and #xmasburpees. We can't wait to see all your smiling sweaty faces on Christmas day!

On boxing day, we do Chad 1000x - a workout named in honor of former Navy Seal Chad Wilkinson. After 21 years of service and multiple deployments, Chad suffered from traumatic brain injury leading to his eventual suicide on Oct 28, 2018. Through her grief, Chad's wife Sara Wilkson, a former affiliate owner and CrossFit seminar staff flowmaster, formed the Step Up Foundation and has gone on to raise over $1,000,000 for veteran mental health. To truly understand the meaning behind this workout, please listen to this CF Podcast episode.
While the holidays are a time of joy and celebration, we know this can be a time of difficulty and suffering for many. Our family having been closely affected by the tragic consequences of severe depression and suicide, know that we are always here for you. Please reach out if you ever need help or just someone to talk to.
