As we countdown towards the Winter Break, you can follow this daily fitness challenge. Each day you 'open a new window' on your calendar to find your new daily challenge. If you want to really push yourself, you can do a cumulative workout by adding the new exercise to the ones you already have, and doing them all together each day. Tell us how you are doing with this challenge via Flipgrid:
