40 Days of Holiday Workouts Start Tomorrow

During the holidays, more people find it a challenge to eat well and exercise.  What we've found is that it's not that they don't have the time to make it happen, but more of they don't really know what to do for a quick effective exercise program that would fit into the hectic schedule.
We've assembled a series of short workouts that require little or no equipment and can be done at home or while traveling.  These exercises are focused on building muscle, decreasing fat, increasing endurance, and improving your overall health and fitness.

The first workout will be posted tomorrow.  Exercising can be fun and bonding when done in groups, so don't hesitate to grab your friends, family, co-workers, or neighbors for a quick workout with you each day.  It's also a great way to challenge yourselves & others to exceed your expectations.

Just a few things to remember as you begin our "40 day of Holiday Workouts".....
1) Warm up your muscles for at least 3 minutes, followed by a good 3-5 minute stretch
2) Cool down afterward with the same stretches.  Try to go a little deeper each time you stretch.
3) Drink plenty of water
4) If you don't know how to do the exercise....ask!
5) Watch your form. It's better to do less with perfect form, than more with speed and poor form.
6) If you haven't exercised in a while, it may be a good idea to consult with your doctor before
    starting any new fitness program.
7) A little daily exercise is no excuse to eat all the sweets, alcohol and high calorie foods during the holiday. 
    Moderation is the key.

Have fun with these exercises.  Let us know how you feel & how things are going for you as often as you can. 

Have a great holiday season!
