December Fitness Bingo For Beginners

Bingo Your Way to a Healthier You

December is often one of the busiest months of the year — full of celebration, travel, cosy evenings, and a few extra festive treats. It’s easy for healthy habits to slip, and even easier to feel guilty about it. But staying active doesn’t have to be hard, complicated, or time-consuming. In fact, it can be fun.

This year, I’m inviting you to Bingo Your Way to Better Health with a simple, beginner-friendly challenge that fits into even the craziest December schedule.

Whether you’re new to fitness, getting back into movement, or simply want something light and festive, this challenge is designed to help you feel good — not overwhelmed.

What Is the December Health Bingo Challenge?

It’s a 4×4 bingo card filled with easy, approachable movement and wellness tasks. Think:

• Take a 30-minute walk

• Dance to a Christmas song

• Do 10 squats

• Stretch for 5 minutes

• Drink an extra glass of water

Every square is simple so that anyone — complete beginners included — can join in with confidence.

Your goal?
Complete squares in any order you like. Get a Bingo (four in a row)… or go for a Full House and complete all 16 squares by the end of December!

Why a Bingo Challenge Works

This style of challenge is:

✔ Flexible

Pick any square, any day. No strict plan to follow.

✔ Beginner-Friendly

Every task is achievable, gentle, and adaptable.

✔ Fun & Motivating

There’s something satisfying about ticking off squares.

✔ Holiday-Friendly

Even with parties, travel, and family time, you can easily squeeze in a few minutes of movement.

✔ Great for building habits

Little daily actions add up — and they’re far more manageable than big, intimidating resolutions.

Why Starting Now Helps You Stick to Your New Year’s Resolutions

Most people wait until 1st January to make a fresh start — but that “new year, new me” pressure often leads to burnout by mid-January.
Starting before the New Year gives you a powerful advantage:

• Build momentum early – by the time January arrives, you’re already in the habit of moving more.

• Remove the fear of the first step – doing a few small wins in December makes everything feel more achievable.

• Show yourself it doesn’t have to be perfect – December is busy, and if you can build tiny healthy habits now, you can definitely continue in January.

• Start the year feeling capable, not guilty – instead of reacting to overindulgence, you enter January feeling proud, energised, and motivated.

Ready to Begin?

December is often about giving to others — but this challenge is a chance to give something small and meaningful back to yourself. A few minutes of movement each day can boost your mood, increase your energy, and help you finish the year feeling stronger, brighter, and more confident.
