WORK IT OUT! JANUARY 12, 2012
With the holiday season in full swing, many of us have done our fair share of shopping, cooking, eating, and drinking. The holiday season is packed withcheer, but it can also be full of stress. Taking care of yourself well - with exercise, a healthy diet, and plenty of sleep - is key for coping with the chaos.Hectic schedules - coupled with cooler temperatures and fewer daylight hours - prompt many to throw their fitness routine to the curb until after theholidays. Readiness & Deployment Support teamed up with Semper Fit to help jump start your new year and leave behind the stress of the holidays.Join us for Work It Out on January 12, 2012 from 1830-2030.
