December ADVENTures
In this delightful month of December, Gregg and I thought we would set a challenge to the fantastic Stoke F.I.T. members! It is called ADVENT – Always Do Various Exercises Next Time.
I will be picking

So, for the first exercise of ADVENT, I will chose 20 burpees and I will pass on to Kerry Taylor for tomorrow’s choice.

They also give you a great toning workout, exercising chest, arms, abs, back, shoulders, quads and calves – perfect!
Enjoy!
Happy Christmas!!
