Bring Your Holiday A-Game

Gold's Gym Fitness Institute experts Belisa Vranich and Robert Reames are here to help you tackle this season's hardest hitters and keep your diet in bounds.

All great players know that they need to mentally and physically prepare before they take the field and face the enemy. We want to help you have that same tough stance as you take on the holiday season with its party platters, time crunches and season-ending sweets. As Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL star Herschel Walker puts it, "If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat."

To make sure you're on the winning team this holiday season, we spoke to two members of the Gold's Gym Fitness Institute to create a healthy game plan: Belisa Vranich, a clinical psychologist and author of Get a Grip: Your Two-Week Mental Makeover, and Robert Reames, the head fitness trainer for The Dr. Phil show and author of Make Over Your Metabolism.
