The Fit Life: Christmas Cheer + Workout #3 "I've Got my Abs to Keep me Warm"

As my fellow fitness guru's know, being a fittie is a lifestyle, not just a trend or phase. One can't be a fittie for one hour of the day or even half of the day, nor can one be a fittie for a week or even just a month.

One of my favorite ways to decorate a tree, is to hang race medals from it. This is a great way not only to celebrate the holidays, but your successfully completed runs/walks on the year. The photo above is a tree from my good friends at WeRunDisney. They know how to celebrate Christmas in real fittie style!

After remembering a super cute treadmill ornament for sale at a gym I used to go to years back, I thought it'd be a really cute idea to decorate a Christmas tree in Fitness only ornaments. Once I googled Fitness ornaments, I found a plethora of super cute options.

I found this idea exceptionally neat. Taking the standard, round ball ornament and decorating it or getting it custom made with a 2014 PR (personal record for a race or certain lift). This ornament was made for my dear friend Michele, after she ran the New York Marathon this year.

Workout to Christmas Music

Whether you stream from Youtube, or purchase on iTunes, there are several albums available. Personally, I like to listen to each song to make sure they are all "pumpy" or upbeat enough for me. Here's what's on my current playlist downloaded from iTunes...
