A Christmas Crazy Update

$995 separates me from reaching my Christmas Crazy goal. $995 separates you from seeing the rest of this hot mess.

It's the most attainable goal in the history of goals. Here's how you can make the magic happen:

• Drop off a new, unwrapped toy (or two or ten) at Cafe Solstice. Grab a cookie while you're there, too. Trust me. IT'S FOR THE KIDS!

• Join X Shadyside and Planet Smoothie as they hold a Holiday Charity Class-a-Thon to benefit Christmas Crazy. To participate at X Shadyside, guests can donate a toy or a $5 minimum to serve as a gym pass to participate in six classes that are designated for this event.  The class schedule for the December 10th event is:

•  
  • Cycling: 8:00 – 8:45 AM : Sprint, climb, and push your fitness level to the next level while riding on stationary bikes using varying resistance and speed training.
  • Cycling: 8:45 – 9:30 AM
  • Morning Yoga: 8:30 – 9:45 AM : This all-levels class will deepen your asana practice through mindfulness, pranayama, yoga philosophy, and meditation.
  • BodyPUMP: 10:00 – 10:45 AM : A rapid fat-burning class that uses barbells to give you the fastest way to tone and condition muscles! After an exhaustive study, BODYPUMP™ was verified by the University of Auckland as providing the fastest body fat loss of any fitness class.
  • Zumba: 10:45 – 11:30 AM : Are you ready to party yourself into shape? That’s exactly what the Zumba® program is all about. It’s an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party™ that’s moving millions of people toward joy and health.
  • BodyATTACK: 11:30 AM – 12:15 PM : A high-energy, calorie-consuming athletic workout that will push you past the limit with strong, simple moves and pumping music. This is the most intense workout you’ll find in the world of fitness – a session guaranteed to take no prisoners.
  • Hip Hop Zumba: 12:15 – 1:00 PM : This class offers a dynamic fusion of Latin-inspired music and choreography along with today’s top 40 hits and dance moves that you’ve seen in the latest hip hop music videos.  Ditch the workout and join the dance party!

Your donation allows you to participate in as many of these classes as you’d like. If you’re not up for a fitness class, Planet Smoothie is also accepting donations and will be will be giving $1 of all smoothie proceeds from the day to Womansplace!

I fully expect to hear that a whole bunch of you stopped at Planet Smoothie. In fact, try the Peppermint smoothie. Trust me. IT'S FOR THE KIDS!

• Drop $1 or $2 or $1,000,000 in the bucket. Seriously, any amount helps. I know it sounds cliche to say it all adds up, but it does! It really, really does.

You've got until Wednesday, December 14th. Let's do this!
