December Challenge

This month is way to hectic to do our voting for the winner, right?  We will do that in January when things calm down. 

Instead, I am issuing a standard monthly challenge to get us through the holidays more healthily and to give you one more chance to rack up more points for the "Not-So-Dumbbell" award.  So far I'm a shoe-in for the prize (remember, it's $25 iTunes giftcard or exercise DVD of your choice), but that could change this month!

Challenge:

Random Acts of Fitness and Kindness

You earn one (1) point for each Act that you do.

Examples of RAFs:

(You can read my blog http://www.lazytrainer.blogspot.com/ for some ideas.)

• 100 body squats throughout the day.  (Break into sets of 20 or so)
• 100 pushups...
• 5 minutes of hula hooping.
• Add 10 more trips up your staircase than you normally do during the day.
• Jumping jacks or crunches or lunges or marching in place, or all of these... during commercial breaks.

Examples of RAKs:

• Let someone merge into traffic.
• Compliment somebody.
• Send someone a note in the mail.
• Pick up some litter that isn't yours.
• Deliver a little gift anonymously to a neighbor.

I know there are more/better ideas out there... please share some!

It's a busy time of year, so sometimes things just have to be fit in quickly and randomly, but let's not completely abandon our good deeds - fitness and otherwise! - in the rush and stress of the season.
