Merry PUSH Christmas! - With 5 days to Christmas Exercise Challenge

Okay! Starting tomorrow, its only 5 days til Christmas! OMG OMG those foods I'm gonna binge this season!

OLIN! so many TARPS (inside joke, long story short it refers to "junk/sugary/sinful/simple-carb packed" foods).

Well, afraid not! As long as you have been following the 5 tips to stay in shape since beginning of Dec and until now, you're fine.

Get presents yo. If you wanna give me something, a pair of 20oz boxing gloves will do, temakaseh!

I already got myself a present anyways, its le Gymboss. Essential stuff as a BodyRocker ;)

BUT, that's not all. I'm here to give an extra top-off exercise challenge (meaning, if you do your regular workouts, this will be an add-on to it. ESPECIALLY for those who don't exercise at all, you gotta try this.) Work for it! So you can enjoy your jolly Christmas meals!

Let the countdown begins -
