Happy Holidays! 2019 has seemingly flown by and now we are enjoying the beloved holiday season of December. One of the downsides to this time of year is there are lots of goodies and little motivation to exercise given the cold temperatures outside.
However, this got me thinking maybe there is a way to combine exercise and Christmas in an easy and fun way and then in a moment of holiday magic it hit me: we need to combine Christmas carols with exercising; thereby, creating the ultimate Christmas playlist to accompany our exercises. What a fun festive idea!
