12 Days of Christmas Workout

The perfect workout to do anytime, anywhere, with no equipment required. And it's festive, too!


This workout is based off the premise of the classic holiday song "The 12 Days of Christmas".


As you may recall:


"On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me: A Partridge in a Pear Tree


On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me: Two Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree


On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me: Three French Hens Two Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree"


As for the Workout


This whole workout is comprised of body weight exercises that you can perform in your own home prior to OR after your Christmas feast.


The workout is:

1 Walk Out

2 Side Lunge (each side)

3 Windmill (each side)

4 Single Leg Side Jump (each side)

5 Squat Jumps

6 Jumping Jacks

7 Single Leg Glute Bridge (each side)

8 Dead Bug (each)

9 Prone Leg Swings (each)

10 Sit Thru (5 each)

11 Scapula Push Ups
