12 Days of Fitness

[Baltoscott]

OK, Fitbitters, lets close out 2018 with a 12 Days of Fitness Challenge.  

Every Day from December 13 to 23 I will post a new exercise (all stolen from the challenge of the same name run by my gym).  Start with Day 1 and complete the exercise.  On subsequent days, complete that day's exercise as well as all previous days exercises, just like the song. 

If you find this after December 13 just do a few multiple days (day 1 and day 2 or more on your first day for example) until you catch up, or just complete it after Christmas.

@NellyG -- is it allergy season for you now?  Whatever is going on doesn't sound fun.  I hope it improves tomorrow.

[NellyG]

Yes it is allergy season! I saw my dr yesterday who gave me some cortisone tablets so it is amazingly better today. Just been out on my bike and enjoyed it!

I've often thought all hound dogs should be named "Tomorrow."  Once they pick up an interesting scent, they never seem to come when called

[WendyB]

I can not do  this @Baltoscott

I really need to quit these typed of  challenges.

[Baltoscott]

@WendyB — you’ve been doing great on this challenge.  Changing the rows to knees on the floor without weights or subbing wall pushups would possible alternatives if you decide to finish the last couple of days.  But if not, no worries.  I know you already have a solid daily workout routine.  This is just a little extra variation.

Thank you @Baltoscott for this challenge.  It was definitely a challenge for me - but I did it!  Although I did not post daily under this discussion, I did do them and posted them under the "Dancing December Step Challenge and Scavenger Hunt" discussion.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
