12 days of fitness time!

OK, everyone!  This is basically a verbatim post from last year.  It's two weeks until Christmas.  Including tomorrow we have 12 days that aren't Christmas or Christmas Eve.  So here's the challenge:  twelve days of fitness.  Do 12 days of SOME kind of exercise every day.  It can be as simple as ten jumping jacks (which would be enough to kill me -- I hate jumping jacks) if you discover it's 11:58 pm and you haven't had a moment to exercise yet.  But do SOMETHING!  Ideally it should be something different every day -- try out each of the different cardio machines at the gym, do upper body weights one day, lower another day, do a video you haven't pulled out in ten years (Jane Fonda, anyone?  I have one with Scottish dancing on it!), try jogging if you usually walk, run up and down the stairs until you pass out.  But anything is better than nothing -- if you can't come up with something new, do something old again -- it still counts.  12 days!!  That's all!  Then you can relax when Christmas arrives.

For new ideas, last year the list from my gym included:

• Bring a friend (not very useful for our purposes)
  
• Take a yoga or Pilates class
  
• Take a Strictly Strength class (cardio muscle work)
  
• Take a morning cycle class (that's 5:30 am -- they mean MORNING)
  
• Take a cycle class after noon
  
• Take a cycle class on the weekend
  
• Take a 20 minute Absolute Core class (Pilates without the stuff I'm good at, I guess)
  
• Take any cardio-based aerobics class
  
• Free weight upper body workout
  
• 30 minute elliptical workout
  
• 30 minute stair stepper workout
  
• 30 minute stationary bike workout
  
• 30 minute treadmill workout
  
• Body Master (like Nautilus) upper body workout
  
• Body Master lower body workout
  
• 3 mile workout on the track
  
• 2 laps of walking lunges on the track
  
• Hammer Strength workout (it's a cross between Nautilus and free weights)
  
• Take 2 back-to-back classes (like I'd survive!!)
  

Have fun!  Who's with me?  Post each day and tell us what you did.  Bragging rights if you finish!  Eternal shame (or at least as long as our attention span lasts -- an hour or two) if you don't.
