It’s that time. Tradition must be upheld. Here is how the Twelve Days of Christmas workout works: on day one, we do one push press. We wipe our brows with relief. Day one is over. But then we move on to day two, when we do two goblet squats and one push press. Still not so bad. Spoiler alert: by the end of this workout we will have done 42 burpees. Yes, I am a terrible Santa and probably not actually the True Love. On day twelve, we do the whole enchilada: twelve plyojacks, eleven kettlebell swings, ten jump lunges, nine mountain climbers, eight renegade rows, seven pushups, six burpees, five deadlifts, four single leg squats on each side, three overhead presses, two goblet squats, and one push press. We try to keep our rests to the space between the days, but rest when necessary. Then we are safe until sometime in the summer, when we have a Hot Christmas.
