25 Days of Fitmas with Sandy

 Hello, Fit Friends!
     During the month of December, in 2018, I decided to create the following Fitmas Challenge for my FB page.
     I was pleasantly surprised by the large number of participants. Why do I feel so many wanted to join my challenge? Accountability. Being held accountable is a huge part of our fitness success. 
     I hope you enjoy the 5 day rotation that takes 25 days to complete. The series includes one day each of Push Ups, Squats, Upper Back, a Full Body Circuit and lastly, Cardio.  Please note, these are high rep days which may be a lot for first timers. If that's the case, try performing the reps in increments of 20 - throughout the day.
     If you have bad knees, please modify the squats with another exercise for the lower body. 
     Push ups may also be performed on an incline, either using your stairs or the kitchen counter. 

Doing it together, cheering each other on every step of the way!
