12 Days of a Fit Christmas

On Dec. 1st, the holiday fitness fun will start!  I'm going to do my best to make sure no one gains extra baggage this Christmas season.  Yes, I want you to relax and enjoy your holidays, but it's important to squeeze in a little exercise time.  The endorphins make you HAPPY... and that's what the holidays are all about, right?!  Happy, happy, happy!!  Plus you'll feel great come New Year's Eve when you still fit in that sexy black dress!

Introducing...
December 1-12

I challenge you to do something FIT for a 12 day stretch...
Enjoy a nice RUN or brisk WALK.
Sweat out the stress at YOGA.
Take a SPINNING or TURBOKICK class.
Pump it up with STRENGTH TRAINING.
Go the distance with a BIKE ride.
Just don't slack... and Stay Fit this Christmas!! 

And to encourage you along, I'VE GOT PRESENTS!!!
Each day during the 12 Days of Christmas, I'll review and giveaway a fabulous item that would look great under your tree. All you have to do is answer one little question... 
"How did you stay FIT today?"


EVERY DAY A NEW GIVEAWAY!
EVERY DAY A WINNER!


Dec. 1 - Endorphin Warrior - warrior training bracelet of your choice

Dec. 2 - SparkleSkirts - SparkleSkirt of your choice

Dec. 3 - Gone for a Run - Race Medal Hanger

Dec. 4 - Fitsok - 3pk of athletic socks

THE FINE PRINT
• You must follow Run with Jess via Google Friend Connect (click Join button in the right sidebar), on Facebook and/or on Twitter.  I don't mean to force you to like me, but I gotta be able to get in touch with you.
• Giveaway items were supplied to me by the named companies.  However, the opinions expressed here are all Jess.
• Open to U.S. residents only. Sorry my international buddies, but postage is getting expensive.
• Each person may only win once.  Gotta spread the holiday cheer around...
• No sign-up or registration required.  Just come back each day from Dec. 1st thru the 12th.
• Each person is allowed a maximum of 3 entries into each giveaway (1 for a blog comment, 1 for a tweet, and 1 for a FB post).  Each entry must answer the question, "What did you do to stay fit today?"  Of course, you could always make stuff up, but remember... Karma will come back to bite you!

    P.S. I hope it's okay, but for some reason on your blog (and a few others), it's not recognizing my "name" so i'm having to comment as Anonymous..but i AM a follower w/ GFC -- my lil picture is over there and everything. I don't know why it's doing this (and has been for a few weeks)...

    Did an hour on the stationary bike today. Pushed really hard to work out some sadness over a death of a dear friend from colon cancer. Exercise always helps me feel better.
