Happy Fit Friday!  The holiday chaos is in full swing, are you sticking with your workouts? I know that there have been a couple of days when getting it in has been a a bit tricky, or I have just been too worn out to really want to try too hard. One of the things I have learned in the past is that I need to keep it fun, both for myself and with my classes. So today's workout we are keeping in with the holiday fun and doing a 12 Days of Christmas workout.

Throw on some fun Christmas workout music and have yourself a holiday workout party!


Much Love and Peace~ Nichole and Ruthie
