Monday Workout: Christmas comes twice a year...

I can’t let summer go by without a little Christmas cheer.  Yes, it is time for the Dreaded 12 Days of Christmas Workout, swiped years ago from my dear friend and colleague Michelle and now a twice-yearly tradition.  Here’s how it works:  on the first “day,” we do 1 push press.  On the second “day,” we do 2 goblet squats and 1 push press.  On the third, we do 3 overhead presses, 2 goblet squats, and 1 push press.  We continue until we have completed all 12 days, which doesn’t actually take 12 days.  Yes, I realize this works out to doing 42 burpees and that that makes me mean and grinch-like, but it makes all of us stronger.  Let’s do it!
