Hi Everyone! I've been MIA recently on the blog, but that's partly because I am working on some exciting new fitness challenges for you all! I have many that are a work in progress and will be starting in the new year, so you have some fun and exciting things to look forward to!

The first one, though, is ready to launch! The "12 Days of Fitness" challenge will start Monday, December 22, 2014 and will go through the new year to Saturday, January 3, 2015. Check out the page here for more information and to sign up! I firmly believe that the best gift you can give your loved ones is yourself, and the best gift you can give yourself is health. So get your friends and family involved in becoming healthier by being more active this holiday season!

That's it for my post this week. I likely won't be posting next Sunday as my Group Fitness Instructor certification exam is that following Monday so I'll be cramming all day every day from now until then. Make sure to sign up for the challenge, and pass the word along to friends and family. :) In the meantime, remember to check out the other workouts and motivational tips posted here and stay tuned for some exciting new fitness adventures! Here's to a healthy and happy holiday season ahead!
