Monday workout: Maybe we'd rather have lords a-leaping?



This is the week before Christmas.  Technically, the twelve days of Christmas don’t start until Christmas itself, continuing until January 6, but we are not strict theologians around the studio.  Heck, we also do this workout once sometime in the summer, just for fun.

Here’s how it works.  We begin with day one and do one push press.  Not so bad.  Then, even though about ten seconds have passed, it is magically day two and we do two goblet squats and one push press.  Then three overhead presses, two goblet squats, and one push press.  And so on.

Most of us need a rest for the first time after day 5.  We try to keep the rests to the between-day periods, but, as always, we need to use our good judgement about what we need.

Yes, I do know that we end up doing 42 burpees before the workout is over.  Thank me later.  Or put coal in my stocking.  Your choice.

The good news is that once we finish day twelve, we are done.

1 push press
2 goblet squats
3 Overhead press
4 1 leg squats each leg
5 deadlifts
6 burpees
7 pushups
8 renegade rows
9 mountain climbers
10 jump lunges
11 kb swings
12 plyojacks
