It seems like it’s inevitable. You work hard to stay in shape all year, but once the holidays roll around, you just can’t help yourself from eating that extra cookie or slice of pie. It’s tough to maintain your fitness goals during the holidays, but Heckers’ Fitness in Zionsville wants to help. For the second year, the company is holding its Holiday Fitness challenge. Owner Matt Hecker said it’s about keeping off those holiday pounds while also raising money for the Zionsville Fire Department. “Last year, we raised more than $2,000 for the department and every participant who completed the challenge saw amazing results,” Hecker stated.
The challenge begins with a body composition analysis and a 15-minute workout challenge before Thanksgiving and ends with a final body composition analysis and 15 minute workout after New Years. Once a person signs up, he or she will receive a link via email about how to perform each exercise correctly. If there are any questions about the exercises, Hecker said you can email, call the studio or get help during one of the initial workouts. Those initial workouts are on Nov. 23 and 24 at the studio at 7635 East Stonegate Dr.
The cost to participate in the Holiday Fitness challenge is $59 and you can sign up by going to www.heckersfitness.com or by calling the studio at 201-8263. On the website, you will also find out more about what’s included in the Holiday Fitness challenge. So if you need a little motivation to maintain your fitness during the holidays, take the challenge to help your health and a great cause.
