It may be "the most wonderful time of the year," but for many of us, it's also a period where finding the opportunity to squeeze in a workout becomes a real challenge, due to a busier-than-usual social schedule. This year, rather than waiting for holiday stress and calorie overload to pile up and take their toll, make an effort to get into the swing of a fat burning home fitness routine in as little as 20 minutes, no matter where you are! 

Check out the video links at the bottom of part 1 and part 2  to see the whole workout in action!
