12 Days of Christmas
Print Workout Here

12 Days of Christmas – 12 exercises, 1 or 2 times through, so you have some choice on this awesome Christmas Eve Day while chilling in your pajamas.

What you need: Just you babe.

Warm-up: Included in the workout.

Workout: Today we’re doing 12 exercise, 50 seconds on and 10 seconds off, 1-2 times through.

Jogging on the spot:Pretty straightforward here.
Jump squats or weighted squats: Watch your form, push yourself, and have fun!
Runners/Bunny Hop lunges, right leg: With your right leg in front, and bent nice and deep like you’re about to take off in a race with the other leg behind you, bring that back leg up and throw in a little baby hop at the top!
Runners/Bunny Hop lunges, left side: Same as above on the next side.
Squat drop: Starting in a forward fold (rag doll) position, you’re going to allow your body to just hang, while you drop your bum and then lift it back up again. You should feel the burn in your quads, and the stretch in the back of your thighs.
Straight leg deadlift with or without weights: Please watch the video for this description.
Shoulder Arnold presses: Holding the weights up and in front of your face, open your arms up, and then push them above your head. This is an excellent way to work your shoulders! From here, you’re going to bring it back down and repeat.
Lateral shoulder raises: Start with both weights in front of you, and then with a slight bend in your elbows, you’re going to lift them up and to the side, so you create a ‘T’ formation. Just take them up to shoulder level, no need to go higher.
Bicep hammer curls: Start with the weights on the outside of your legs, keep the elbows nice and tight towards your rib cage, and then lift your hands up until the weights touch your armpits for a great bicep contraction. Keep them slow and controlled here.
Overhead triceps extensions:With either one weight in both hands or one weight held with both, hold the weight above your head with your biceps besides your ears, and then drop the weight down towards your upper back to fully hit those triceps.

Bent over back extensions, right side: With your left leg in front of you and your right leg behind and planted, you’re going to keep both hips pointing forward and your back nice and flat. Now you’re set up to start doing back rows by lifting your arm up! Don’t twist!
Bent over back extensions: left side: Same as above on the opposite side.

If you’re going to repeat, please take a two minute break and then repeat.

Cool-down:10 minutes of stretching and cooling off this time!

Make today badass,
Ashley Dale Grant

  I’m glad it helped Momma!
April Patch on December 26, 2018 at 5:59 pm

2 rounds of this was awesome! I love workouts with a lot of moves as the mental game of knowing you only have to do them each a couple times makes me push through a bit harder, especially things like squat jumps!
