Santa's been working out! Now that we’ve awakened from our tryptophan coma, the holiday rush is in full swing, with shopping, parties, gift-wrapping, travel, toy assembly… whew, sounds tiring! With all of the extra events and shortened days, it’s a natural temptation to jettison the workouts for a month. If you need a little extra motivation, check out some of the online December fitness challenges that abound on the internet:
-
Roller Derby Athletics ($15): once you pay the entrance fee, you’re enrolled into the Challenge and its corresponding Facebook group. The emphasis is on fitness rather than weight loss.
-
