Santa created a workout for you 🎅

By December 5, 2022No Comments

This workout is a total body high-intensity workout done to the format of the holiday song The 12 Days of Christmas

Here’s how it works:

There are 12 rounds … and every round, you add a new exercise that corresponds to the day it represents in the song.

So, for round 1, you would do 1 minute of jump rope (do “pretend” jump roping if you don’t have a rope available or haven’t mastered jumping rope yet). 

Round 2 you would do 2 push-ups + 1 minute of jump rope.

Round 3 would be 3 lunges (each side) + 2 push-ups + 1 minute of jump rope … all the way to round 12, where you would do the whole thing from day 12 through day 1.

Listen to your body and take breaks as needed!
