Summary

Are you living life to its fullest potential or allowing your past mistakes, failures and setbacks to define you? If you want to stop being a victim of circumstance and start being the leader of change in your life you don’t want to miss the all new #RenegadeRadioPodcast with Christmas Abbott.

Christmas is an entrepreneur, online fitness coach, former CrossFit Games Competitor, Olympic Weightlifter and NASCAR Pit Crew member. She is also the creator of Christmas Abbott Nutrition, a keynote speaker and national best-selling author of “The Badass Body Diet: The Breakthrough Diet and Workout for a Tight Booty, Sexy Abs and Lean Legs” and “The Badass Life: 30 Amazing Days to a Lifetime of Great Habits – Body, Mind, and Spirit”.

For Christmas life was not always filled with health and fitness nor success and accomplishment. She started using drugs and alcohol as a teenager and her life quickly spun out of control. It wasn’t until she found herself in the middle of a war zone in Iraq that she began to understand how precious life is. Using fitness as her guiding light she embarked upon a journey of discovery and change. She moved forward despite her past, overcame adversity, and transformed herself into the successful person she is today.
