Today in Canada, it is known as Boxing Day. This is the day people become raving lunatics and decide to all hit shopping malls en masse in order to return crappy Christmas gifts that their great-aunt twice removed tried to pawn off on them, spend their gift cards just as quickly as possible, and get what they REALLY wanted for Christmas. For us, it’s the equivalent of Black Friday in the states, but more people have the day off from work, and there are usually more relatives in town and less travelling on this day, but the retail aspect of things is pretty much the same.
There’s usually some pretty good discounts on things as well, typically in the electronics departments and clothing stores, as they’re trying to get the old years stuff out before they bring in the new hotness. It’s a good time to get stuff, but it’s a crap-shoot as to what will be discounted and what will be even available.
Here’s something that will be available to all you fitness professionals out there: for one day and one day only, I’m going to practically give away Post-Rehab Essentials, my 12 hour video series on everything personal trainers and strength coaches should know about injury rehab. The regular cost on the entire series is $209, but for this Boxing Day sale, I’ll be offering it for only $99.
Here’s a brief list of things you’ve gone through in the past week that probably cost more than Post Rehab Essentials:
1. A turkey to feed 15 people for Christmas dinner
2. Gas used to drive in circles around the mall parking lot on December 24th, looking for a single parking stall so you can shop for that Justin Beiber CD your wife/kids/girlfriend/ nutless-man-friend wanted you to get for them
3. Signed copy of Snooki’s new book Confessions of a Guidette (including the hepatitis medication needed to handle such a biologically toxic device)
4. Your phone bill after arguing with the postal service about why an in-province delivery sent on the 20th will take over a month to get to the destination, when an out of country parcel can make it there in a week
5. A week’s worth of veggies to purge out the insulin coma from all the Christmas baking, desserts, and egg nog poured over your soul this past weekend
Since these are all pretty trivial matters, you would be hard-pressed to NOT want to spend some of your hard-opened cash from your Christmas haul on trying to make yourself smarter, better, and gosh darn-it, more beloved by people around the world.
SO do yourself a favor and get smarter by picking up Post Rehab Essentials. For every copy sold, I will totally think about saving a small puppy. Remember, this is a one-day only sale, and on December 27th, the price will go back up, so you’d better act quick and get your copy now.
