Monday Workout: The 12 Days of Christmas








It’s that time again!
  (Yes, we’re doing it a little on the early side.  I am taking a couple weeks off and want to get it in with the clients before I go.)  (Don’t worry:  I’ll still post workouts while I’m off.)

The 12 Days of Christmas workout works like this.  On the first “day,” we do one push press.  Then we go on to day two, with two goblet squats and one push press.  Most of us can keep going without a break until after day five.  Then we want a rest to gear up for day six:  six burpees, five deadlifts, four single leg squats on each leg, three overhead presses, two goblet squats, and one push press.  After that, rest as needed until all the days are done!  At the end, you will have done 42 burpees and you will be absolutely convinced that I am not, in fact, your true love.

 

1 push press

2 goblet squats

3 Overhead press

4 1 leg squats each leg

5 deadlifts

6 burpees

Monday Workout: Adaptable






This is an adaptable workout.  Feeling like the weight bearing on the arms is too much?  Sub regular jacks.  Knees hurt?  Just do twists without the lunges.  As always, this needs to work for where we are today.  Three rounds.
