12 Days of Christmas… Scratch That… 12 Days of Fitness!

Holiday season is officially in full swing ladies and gentleman. So what better way to get into the spirit than to perform a holiday themed workout? Take a break from hunting for that Furby or whatever the hot toy is this year and go through this workout.

Here are the details.

Similar to The 12 Days of Christmas, you’ll go through 12 rounds of exercises with each round adding in a new exercise. Each “day” represents the number of reps to complete for each exercise. So instead of 5 golden rings, you’ll get 5 lateral lunges.

The first round, you’ll complete Day 1.

The second round you’ll complete Day 2 + Day 1.

Then Day 3 + Day 2 + Day 1.

Then Day 4 + Day 3 + Day 2 + Day 1… all the way until you get to Day 12. You follow?

The exercises are as follows:

1 half Turkish getup per side

2 deadbugs per side

3 tall kneeling presses per side

4 inchworms

5 lateral goblet lunges per side

6 high plank weight switches per side

7 RDL’s

8 goblet squats

9 pushups

10 single arm bent rows per side

11 abductions in low plank per side

12 lunge drops per side

Equipment needed: 1 KB that you can single arm overhead press 6 times (this is a rough guess, everyone is different)

Feel free to grab multiple kettlebells to increase the intensity for the different exercises.

If you’re still confused, here’s a detailed breakdown.
