Christmas is a very busy time for everyone. With social events, shopping, working, family and list goes on, we tend to forget about exercise….the one thing that keeps us sane (well, it is for me). So I decided this past weekend that it was important to make a commitment to myself (and anyone around me), that I get out and do at least 25 minutes of workout per day for 25 days straight. It doesn’t have to be intense. It doesn’t have to be running, biking or swimming. Just get out and do something aside from working. So far so good. 3 days in and 3 workouts done.
The 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, started as a challenge to myself but since mentioning it to others in conversation and on Facebook, has now spun off to a challenge at work and amongst my friends too. I will be keeping people posted on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/limitlesscoaching.ca). For me it’s a diary of sorts, but I am hoping it will get someone motivated to get up and out and doing something for a least 25 minutes every day over the Holiday Season.
The original post on FB
We all know that December is a crazy time for everyone, with holidays, parties, friends and family get togethers and of course the over eating (possibly the same with drinking) and the lack of motivation for workouts and exercises.
The premise is simple, yet challenging for us with everything going on. The challenge is to do a minimum of 25 minutes of exercise from December 1 – 25. It doesn’t have be intense, just get out and do something to clear the head and let you get through the season (BTW running around the stores/malls shopping doesn’t count…even though it feels like a workout some days).
