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!
