Are you seeing the days get shorter and want to hibernate all day? You’re not alone! If you’re like me you’re probably finding it a bit harder to get your workouts and activities in as it’s dark when you get up and even before dinner sometimes.

Here’s an easy challenge I started this morning that might jumpstart your day and get you to work on your core all at once.

Here is a site which has a calendar and a pledge you can take. Do it!

It’s an ad for a yoga mat on Craiglist and a typical yoga class. Okay, maybe not so typical. You tell me!
