Welcome to the 12 Days of Fitness!

I don’t know about you, but when the holiday season rolls around, a lot of my fitness goals go out the window.

I mean, who doesn’t have a hard time balancing everything?

Maybe you’re finishing up things at work, studying for finals, shopping for holiday gifts, traveling, attending Christmas parties and family get-togethers… So how are you also supposed to work out, eat healthy, and even just stay sane??

Let’s talk about managing social anxiety.

Imagine this scenario:

You’re at some sort of social gathering, talking to someone you barely know, when you literally can’t think of anything to say next.

You frantically try to wrack your brain for anything you have in common – anything semi-interesting to say. To make matters worse, you look around to see everyone else in absorbing conversations, laughing and having a merry ole’ time.

Unfortunately, I’ve experienced this plenty of times. And in these moments, my first thought is usually, “What’s wrong with me? Why is everyone else so dang charismatic?”

This post contains some great gifts for fitness lovers!

With the holidays around the corner, I’m starting to keep my eye out for gifts.

They say you should get things for other people that you would like to receive yourself. So rather than give you a list of bland fitness equipment, I actually thought really hard about what I’d like to receive as a fitness lover.
