12 Days of Fitmas Workout

December 5, 2022

Ohhh, are you in for a treat today!

Santa created a workout for you.

This is a special holiday workout that will fire up your metabolism and help keep you on track with your goals.

Why create a special holiday workout? Well, first: because it’s FUN.

And even MORE importantly, keeping your activity level up over the holidays is critical. It will help you:

Sleep better
Fight off colds & other illnesses
Feel more upbeat & relaxed
Have more energy

You can do this one solo … or with your kids, family, and friends.
(Be sure to post over in the Facebook group when you’re done!)

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!
