This past Thursday was December 1st… a day that marks the beginning of many things, but specifically the 25 Days of Christmas Movie marathon on ABC Family. I don’t know about you all, but sometimes there is nothing better than sitting on the couch and watching cheesy made-for-TV movies.
In order to make myself feel less lazy about the increase in TV consumption this month… I decided December 1st should also mark the beginning of a fitness challenge: the 25 days of Burpees!
December 1st I did one burpee. December 2nd I did two. This afternoon I did three. And I will continue to increase the number of burpees by 1 each day until I reach 25 on Christmas.
I can currently do about 10 all-out burpees in a row without being really winded. So while this challenge has started off easy, it won’t be long before it gets a lot more intense.
So happy start to the Holiday Season everybody! I hope you get to spend it watching as many made-for-TV movies as your heart desires… and maybe even doing a fitness challenge too! ;)

What’s a Burpee?
it’s like a combination between a pushup, a squat, and a jump.
this video demonstrates one pretty well
I love this challenge!
