To contact us Click HERE
December is a crazy busy time of year.  With cookie baking, egg nog, concerts, ball games and shopping, shopping, shopping it is very easy to let regular exercise just slip out of your schedule with a promise to yourself to get going in the New Year.  Between all the extra calories and all the extra stress it is more important than ever to make time for yourself to get in regular exercise.  Commit to exercising every day in the month of December and take the 31 Days of Exercise Challenge!

Keep in mind, while an hour long sweat-fest is awesome, it doesn't always have to be that.  If you are short on time and only have 5-10 minutes that is plenty of time to burn a few extra calories and make your muscles a little stronger, so squeeze in what you can when you can on the days you can't get drippy sweaty.  Here are some ideas for quick workouts:


Football Watching Workout: watching a football game can still be a workout adventure!
  • Every time a team scores do a push up for every point that team has.
  • For every interception do 10 Burpees.
  • Every commercial do 25 jumping jacks, 25 squats and 25 crunches.
  • At halftime have a "plank off" competition - see who can hold a plank the longest.

Pre-Game Workout: sneak in this quick workout before heading to the basketball game.
  • 10 jump shots (imagine swishing them).  
  • 10 flying jumping jacks (try your best cheerleader spirit fingers in between).
  • 50 sit ups.
  • 10 squat jumps pretending you're rebounding.
  • 1 minute plank.
  • 25 push ups.

Start Your Day Right:  if you know your day is busy, busy do these exercises first thing when you wake up.
  • 10 Good Morning Push Ups.
  • 10 Dive Bombers.
  • 20 alternating step back lunges.
  • 15 starting blocks (each leg).
  • 20 knees to elbows in straight arm plank.
  • 25 sit ups taking elbows to knees at the top.

Shopping Fitness: get in shape for a shopping marathon by doing this workout before you hit the stores.
  • 1 minute Power Skip in place.
  • 1 minute Push Ups w/ Plank Jack at top.
  • 1 minute squats with alternating knee lifts.
  • 1 minute Bridge Glute Lifts.
  • 1 minute Reverse Crunches.
  • Repeat if you have time.
  • When you get to your first store or mall take a full lap around the store/mall before purchasing or putting anything in your cart.
