Weekly Survey: Holiday Fitness Routines - How Does Yours Change?
Thanks to those that have already answered the survey! This will be the last week for this survey on your holiday 
fitness routines. Some people love this time of year, some people hate it. One thing is for sure - schedules get hectic and for many, the first thing to go is the trip to the weight room or treadmill. Then the first of the year comes and you almost have to call ahead and make a reservation to get on a machine at some gyms because of the hordes of people making good on their New Year’s resolutions.
How do you stick to your routine during this time of year? There are a lot of serious Parrillo-enthusiasts who put the rest of us more casual fitness fanatics to shame, so let us in on some of your attitudes and advice to stick with it throughout the holidays.
Take a few minutes to answer our short survey and share your tips with other readers.

Article of the Week: The Lunge
The lunge exercise can be performed in different ways and angles, but it’s an excellent exercise because it stretches the entire leg. This movement does not require lots of weight but it requires focus because it can be very taxing to the legs. Lunges are a great way to finish your leg workout, because it’s not an exercise that 
requires tons of weights; you’re probably not going to add lots of size to the quadriceps. This could be performed with dumbbell or barbell; I would suggest alternating the two. Let’s start with the basic forward lunge; it’s very important that you stay focus and keep good technique. As you step forward into the lunge, be sure to keep your back leg as straight as possible. Drive your hips forward. Return to the starting position. Side lunges are effective for etching separation into your abductors, it’s unbelievable for development. If you have trouble with the knees, try the reverse lunge and the pressure shifts because you don’t have to catch yourself from falling forward.
Stretching
Again try these at the end of the workout and blast the leg from different angles. Combine all these lunges at sets of three to four anywhere from 12-20 reps and you will etch out those legs in no time. Remember to follow the Parrillo diet principles, workout with intensity, perform daily aerobics and make sure you stretch at the end of each set.
