Shimmy, the non-profit on a mission to get America moving, launched an iPhone workout advent calendar that shares a "fun-size" workout video daily. This alternative way to count down the days in December until the 25th also helps to support the formation of foundational healthy habits for the New Year.
The Shimmy app is free to download and its no-cost challenge provides motivation for people to move their body daily with activities like Bollywood cardio, boxing and yoga. With just seven minutes of movement per day, Shimmy supports not just physical wellness but also mental wellness too, along with a sense of togetherness and community. Additionally, Shimmy is donating $25 to charity on behalf of each person who completes the full workout calendar.
