Ok, I know I said I was done with Christmas workouts but I just received this one in my inbox and had to share!
This workout operates like a board games (just like the Monopoly workout) so there is a bit of set up. However, I think your clients will appreciate and enjoy the effort.
Thanks to Sharon Corrigan from Glowing Results for this workout. Check out their site if you are interested in using schools and community centers to run your bootcamps.
