This time of year, when the holiday festivities are winding down, and the pile of leftovers is dwindling, we begin to look ahead to the New Year, making resolutions and promises to ourselves, often about diet and exercise. Personally, I find that those resolutions never really stick, and my reasons for sticking with my exercise routine have more to do with staying warm and awake and avoiding the winter blues as I wait for the warm weather to return.

In that spirit, I’ve designed a winter warm-up workout video that I will be sharing with you in the next couple of days. I’d love to hear your feedback, as I hope to make lots more videos this year and I want to make sure there’s something for everyone!
