The gift of Good Health

I just read an email about the top ten reason's why to give the gift of exercise for the Holiday's.  This started me thinking.  The moms that come to Strollerfit already know it is a great workout so lets sheare it with our friends.  Bring a friend to class before the end of Fitness takes No holiday Challeneg and get a bonus point.  If they join receive 5 ponus points and if they purchase a deluxe enrollment kit or a muscle bar receive 5 more bonus points and for each of these things be entered into a raffle for a free massage!!

Any new members that join between November 20 and December 31 will receive a free gift and if they join at the first class they attend, they will also receive 25% off the joining fee!! I am also offering gift certificates for the holidays, see Cari for additional details.

Here are the 10 reasons to share with your friends. 

10 reasons to give the gift of exercise this holiday season

1. SWINE FLU- within 24 hours of exercise you have more immune cells with which to fight off germs

2. THE (regular) FLU- within 24 hours of exercise your immune cells are functioning at a higher level and give you more protection against germs

3. THE ECONOMY - it is much cheaper to exercise and stay healthy than it is to miss days at work, pay DR office co-pays and pay for medication!

4. THE ECONOMY - maintaining a healthy weight saves us money at the gas pump.. the more weight we carry, the more gas our own cars use to get us from point a to b!

5. JOB SECURITY - exercise increases blood flow to the brain by almost 400% in the hours post exercise, making us more alert and giving clarity of thought. A lunch time workout at their desk with the muscle bar can help improve their efficiency at work and help someone rise to the top of their field!

6. MUSCLES ARE SEXY- everyone could use a self-esteem boost, and when we like what is looking back in the mirror can help us start each day off right!

7. SLEEP! Regular exercise can increase the amount of serotonin our body's produce, this is our happy hormone that also helps us improve our sleep habits. Who do you know that doesn't need more sleep?

8. HAPPINESS! Read number 7 again... who couldn't use an increase of happy hormones?

9. LESS STRESS - exercise flushes cortisol- our stress hormone, we all need less stress.

10. LOVE - It doesn't come in cookies, nor can it be opened on Christmas Day.. but when you give someone a tool that can help transform their lives, you have loved.

I have one to add to the list, by working out, you can help yourself not be that person who gain the average 4 pounds throughout the Holiday season!!!!!
