I couldn't help but share this with you again. With so many new Blissers, it would be a shame not to. And I hear we are in for a record year. So, it's time to train! Let's go people!
This time next week we will be readying ourselves for one of the greatest celebrations of all. Knowing many of you are rather competitive, I am certain you'll be participating in this cultural feast. I only hope I have left enough time for your preparation. We really should have started sooner. But there's a lot we can do in a week. There's no time to waste, with door busters and power hours...here comes Black Friday! Let's get started!
First and foremost you need to be dressed for business here. Put those high heeled boots back in the closet. What you need is a sturdy, steel toed tennis shoe with good arch support. You'll want to be quick on your feet, while protecting those toes. Next, those smokin' hot jeans with the blinged out back pocket, nope. Again, think agility. A good stretch fabric will be your friend on Black Friday. Layers people, breathable cotton is best. And by all means no jackets. A jacket is bulky and will lead to over heating...flared tempers and that is not good for you or anyone else.
Now, oh - before I forget - a cross body bag ladies. This keeps you hands free for shopping while keeping your personal documents (ie. lists) close to you. Guys, wallets in your front pocket for security. Things can get ugly out there. On to your training routine. We need to get you started right away with some high knees. Stairs will be faster and safer than escalators. March in place, 10 times, 3 sets of high knees. Daily.
Next, I never advocate offensive shopping. There are some moves you need to get down before next week however. And this is no joke. First move is "Vital Space". You always need to be protecting your vital space. Place your arms out in front of you at shoulder level or just below, now fold your arms locking your hands at opposite elbows. This creates a defensive square, your "Vital Space". Lock in! Your feet should be firmly planted shoulder width apart, slightly staggered, knees soft. Feel your power. Now, slowly rotate right, now left. You are fully protected.
You will know if you need to invoke "Vital Space" protection by conducting the following, "Private Circle". Private Circle indicates your personal space. Standing with your firm base of support, feet shoulder width apart, take your right arm and point straight forward extending your pointer finger. Now, slowly turn your entire body in a circle. This is your "Private Circle". Never reach, lunge, or dive beyond your private circle to grab items. And, should anyone come into your private circle, immediately invoke "Vital Space".
There are going to be a lot of good deals out there on Black Friday. Early bird savings, gold star clearance...but people need to take this seriously. This is no time to be out there on a low carb day, you need to get enough sleep, have a solid breakfast, and get yourself out there well before 5:00 am. You've got one week to build some endurance with high knees, know your "Private Circle", and protect your "Vital Space". Not everyone is going to have the level of training that you will, be careful out there. Now let's get serious about BLACK FRIDAY!
