WELCOME TO YOUR 12 Days of Fitmas Workout!

 

This holiday-themed HIIT workout will leave you feeling fit, strong, and proud of yourself.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

This workout is done to the format of The 12 Days of Christmas song. 

 

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 one). 

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'll do the whole thing from day 12 through day 1.

 

Listen to your body and take breaks as needed!

 

Let me know how you feel after this workout! hehheh.
