December? Already? 2014, you happened really quickly. We always welcome the new year with open arms (who doesn’t love a blank slate?), but as we head into this final chapter of 2014, we’re feeling committed to making it count. We’re determined to make fresh and inspired new year’s resolutions come January, and not simply the same ones we made but didn’t stick to last year.

It’s too easy to blow off the end of the year. We’re busy. We’re laughing at (and in awe of) those superhuman versions of ourselves who used to work out five times a week. We can’t remember the last time we had nothing to do. We’re not sure when exactly we’re going to squeeze in holiday shopping — let alone a 55-minute workout. Oh, and we know that January’s blank slate is just around the corner, making it all too enticing to just give into gluttony/laziness/[insert weakness here] for just one more month… and then turn it all around in 2015. But why? Why wait? Why set ourselves back when we could spend these next 31 days growing, strengthening and really just making it count?

There’s no good reason (lots of excuses, but no logical reason) — so we’re not going to throw in the towel this December. We’re going to make it count. And we’re going to have fun doing so. How? The 12 Days of Fitness. Consider this totally achievable, fun sweat challenge your December to do list. Check each of the 12 items off your checklist by December 31st (yes, you’ve got 31 days to complete 12 actions) — and enter to win a $250 credit to bari by posting your sweaty proof to Instagram. Yep, it’s that simple. And come January? You’ll be so ready to kick 2015’s ass instead of letting it kick yours.
