We are all starting to feel both the excitement and the strain of the winter holidays. They are fun, joyous, and a wonderful opportunity to socialize with friends, family, and co-workers. But during this time of year, we are juggling more than usual.
Holiday parties, end-of-the-semester school performances, prepping your home for guests, shopping for gifts — oh my! It sometimes feels there is no spare moment to breathe — let alone exercise.
The Paseo Club knows this can be a hectic time. That is why we created the 12 Days of Fitness Challenge. This program will help you stay on track with your fitness goals and have the opportunity to check out some classes you may not have tried before. Win-Win!
In this article, you will learn about the 12 Days of Fitness Challenge, the benefits of joining a fitness challenge, and how you can participate.
What is the 12 Days of Fitness Challenge at the Paseo Club?
The 12 Days of Fitness Challenge is a program the Paseo Club organized to help you try new classes and stay committed to your fitness routine during the holidays.
Paseo Club members have from December 1 through 31 to complete 12 fitness classes. However, you can only submit one class per day — no doubling up to finish in six days!
Win a Paseo Club beanie or visor upon completing the challenge (while supplies last).
Why should members join a fitness challenge?
It is very easy to get overwhelmed with holiday activities — parties, shopping, cooking, etc. Making time to take care of your health and fitness often gets pushed aside.
The benefit of joining a fitness challenge is it keeps you motivated to workout during the busy holiday season. The 12 Days of Fitness Challenge supports you in supporting yourself — even if it is just for one hour each day.

The prescribed classes are:

Final thoughts on the 12 Days of Fitness Challenge
According to Harvard Medical School, sixty-two percent of people describe their stress level as “very or somewhat” elevated during the holidays. This is a natural response to being overly busy, eating more poorly, and feeling the financial demands of purchasing gifts.
One of the most effective tools to mitigate the effects of stress is to exercise. Although it may feel impossible to get any physical activity during this season, scheduling it is the best method to make it happen.
The Paseo Club is a social club in the Santa Clarita Valley that offers over 60 fitness classes each week, tennis and pickleball programs, and a junior Olympic pool for laps, aqua aerobics, and recreational swimming.
Once you finish your workout, come to the onsite spa at the Paseo Club. The spa is staffed by two massage therapists and an esthetician. Treat yourself or pick up gift certificates for friends and family.
