Christmas No-Break

Today is the first of day of my kid's Christmas Break.  Why do we call it Christmas Break?  During the two weeks of vacation there is no break from fun festive activities, noise, yummy treats, chaotic children, errands to run and general celebration.

Well maybe we take a break from exercising when we travel to granny's house.  But of all times of the year, when we (I) indulge almost daily in neighbor treats this is the WORST TIME to take a break from your exercise routine.  How can we fix the problem?

Over the next two weeks I will post daily (5 days a week) a 10 minute workout set for you to do wherever you are whenever you have 10 minutes to spare!  Think of it as my gift to you this holiday season.
