Christmas Burn Out
Print Workout Here
We’ve got 8 moves here to celebrate the 8 days of Hanukkah. 12 reps of each move working our way down to 1 move to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas. And 4 sets of moves to celebrate the number 4! Because you have 4 different sets you can choo-choo-choose the time you have available to you. Either 9 mins, 16 mins, 23 mins or 31 mins. You’ll love alllll the minutes!
What you will need:
- Just yo’ sexy self
Warm-Up:
- 3 mins of cardio warm up: ice skaters, prancing reindeer high knees, celebration arm swing etc
Workout: This is done the same way the song is sung. But starting at 12! Each move we do for 12 reps when work your way down to 1. Complete each set before moving on.
Set 1
- Reindeer Climbers – Start in high plank and get running with those climbers, quickly bringing one knee in towards your chest. Do 12 runs per side and so on down to 1.
- Dancing Ladies – Start with 1 leg back and lower into a lunge. Jump and switch your legs so you are now in a lunge with the other leg. Each jump is 1 lunge and we’re doing 9 per side.
Modification: Skip the jumping and start in standing lunge position and then pulse for the number of reps. Quickly switch to the other side to complete the reps on that side.
Set 2
- Leaping Lords – Similar to the star jumps except you will be jumping up and touching your toes together as you jump up. As a modification you can skip the jump again and as you stand bring one leg up and touch your toe to your knee.
- Drummers Drumming – From high plank get your legs nice and wide. Make sure your hips aren’t up high, your back isn’t arched and your bum is tight. You can do this from your knees as well. Bring one hand up and “drum” or touch your opposite shoulder. Repeat with the other side. This is 1 rep. Make sure your hips don’t rock side to side. If they shift side to side, come to your knees contract those abs nice and tight to get the same burn.
Set 3
- Snow Angels – Get into a hallow hold. Crunch up and legs up keeping your back nice and flat the entire time through this move. Open your arms and legs up and in a burst motion like you’re making a snow angel. You don’t need to bring your legs down low to feel the burn. If you need to support your neck then hold it with one hand and switch half way through.
- Swimming Swans – Start on your stomach and lift your chest slightly keeping your head down. Bring your arms forward and breast stroke them back until your touch your bum and hold it for a moment. This is one rep. Be sure to use a resistant force as you bring those hands back.
Modification: come on to your knees and do the swimming motion from there.
Set 4
- Ice Skaters – Start on your right leg and reach you left leg back as far over to the right as you can. Hold it here for a moment then jump over to the left side and repeat. This is one rep. If this bothers your knees do regular back lunges.
- Tired Elves – Laying on your back roll your hips and squeeze your bum so your back is flat to the floor. Either with your feet flat on the ground and knees bent in a tent position or raised in the air extend one leg forward towards the floor and the opposite arm behind you. Repeat with the other leg and arm.
Cool Down/Stretching
- Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.

All 4 sets done and that is a wrap on 2018 and month 40 with Royally Fit!! Clarese (and Nicole) are missed!
Update to my side note… this Clarese workout I did Dec 31 last year, it was a different Clarese workout for the double header to begin the year – she has a few of them! ;)
