    Nope. Did a full body strength training session today. Even if I were going to do anything tomorrow it would just be some light cardio.

    I love working out and don't have children, so Christmas is more of a relaxed and laid back event for me... so I'm totally working out. We got a huge blizzard that blew through today, so instead of my normal run, I'll opt for just a good, steady fun burn on my kinect with Zumba or Sports and probably won't log it.

    Workout in the morning. Fork curls and beer lifts in the afternoon.

    My gym is closed so no workout for me unless I go out for a walk.. then again, since TWC's Jim Cantore is scheduled to be within 30 miles of here tomorrow, I sort of doubt that will be possible.

    I will be working out...it feels to good to do something just for yourself that is so worth the time and effort to skip just because it's Christmas. Insanity Day 16.

    Will try and get my rear out of bed and work out - before going to work.

    i am going to count picking up after 2 toddlers rip into the christmas presents and then loading them and a 6 week old up and getting them to grandmas for dinner as my exercise. don't knock it till you have tried it. it can take up to an hour of organizing and loading to get all three kids changed and in the van with the required supplies depending on how much to help.

    I can imagine. Busy mom I see!

    I will be working out! I feel I am on a roll! The last week I have been walking 3.5 miles. My goal is to start walking 4 miles on Christmas! I am also going to do exercises in the house! I have a goal to lose 10 pounds by 1/27/13.

    I will. I have a pushup routine and a long walk scheduled for tomorrow. Gotta keep up my step count for Fitbit.

    Also a Christmas dinner to attend.

    One day I will have a "pushup routine;" for now, I steer clear of those dreadful things.

    It'll be a 3 hrs run in the AM and if I'm feeling stressed which I'll very likely be feeling, another 2 - 3hrs run or walk in the PM. So, yes a normal day.
    Yep. That sounds normal.
    Yep. MY normal. MY stress. MY method to de-stress. MY choice. :) Merry Christmas!

    Edit: To fix quote boxes.

    Your normal is pretty awesome. I couldn't do it; but you rock!

    I'm going to do my normal 40-50 minute workout. I skimped on today, only doing my 30 Day Shred, but tomorrow I'll be back to normal.

    Not sure how much of a workout I'll get but I'll do as much as I can inbetween unwrapping presents, making and eating food and other assorted stuff.

    Did hour interval training yesterday, the 24th. Gym closed two days now so will walk and jog a bit or do my own workout in my room since I am at my mum's. Won't be going over the top eating anyway.

    Yep...just stuffed my face! Now I'll do presents with the kids, rest for a bit, and do my Tae Bo workout before Santa comes! ;-)

    I'm lucky. My gym is closed on xmas day, but the timing of my routine has me showing up the day before (today) and the day after when it is open. Also coincidentally the timing works for me on new years as well. I have no excuses.

    I am working out on Christmas =) Made a pact with myself to have at least 30 mins of activity everyday (on rest days I do stretching). Considering the fact that there'd be tons of delicious food, I will be able to indulge knowing that I earned it =P

    Since my gym is closed :sad: I will be working out on my Wii :happy:. I will do my daily body test on my Wii Fit Plus and then play some of my Zumba 2 game to complete a full hour of workout.

    Tomorrow happens to be my OFF day on Insanity, however I skipped yesterday's workout (felt a little sick) so I'm making it up tomorrow. A little cardio doesn't hurt anyone! :)

    I have to work Christmas and I am anticipating a massive potluck so I'll definitely be hitting up the gym after my shift as usual.
