I hope everyone is getting ready for the holidays, I know I’m extremely busy getting prepared.  This is my favorite time of year though, there’s so much to do especially when you have 5 kids.  It makes Christmas time so magical with kids; Santa, elf on the shelf, decorating the tree, cookies, Christmas lights.  I seriously dread the day my kids stop believing in Santa 😥  I know with all the busyness of the holidays its easy to make excuses or get off track but try to make it a priority to exercise for at least 30 minutes 4 days a week.  Sticking with it will make all those weight loss New Year’s resolutions that much easier!  Try this workout, if you don’t have a bar bell you can always substitute the hang cleans for a bodyweight movement, such as burpees or push ups.  It definitely gets harder as the time ticks down.
