12 Days of Fitmas
Posted 23rd November 2020
Welcome to Fitmums & Friend’s Christmas virtual challenge, ‘12 Days of Fitmas’, designed to get you moving and having fun during the dark December days.
12 Days of Fitmas is open to all - members and non-members - and is suitable for adults and children alike, as you can choose from a range of activities across the 12 days.
Entry comes with a beautifully designed chart for you to colour and capture your achievements, and on completion you will be rewarded with a stunning 12 Days of Fitmas medal* if you choose.
You don’t need to start on 1st December, just choose the 12 days that best work for you. The challenge must be completed between 1st and 31st December 2020.
To enter, simply download the chart of your choice below; and visit our online shop to purchase your medal - *there are only 250 medals, so be quick!
So what do I have to do?
You’ve got 12 days during December on which you can complete:
- 12 minutes of exercise (e.g. dancing, walking, running, etc.) or
- 12 miles or kilometres of exercise (run, walk, cycle, etc.) or
- 12 exercises (e.g. press-ups, star jumps, etc.) or
- A mixture of the above - in any combination that adds up to 12. For example, on Day 1 you could run 3 miles and do 9 star jumps, and then on Day 2 you could walk 5 miles and do 7 press-ups. Or you could mix up the walking and running in any combination of 12 you like.
Alternatively, if you are feeling very brave you could take on the full 12 Days of Fitmas challenge as follows:
