Christmas Break Workout

All you need for this workout is this photo, a kettlebell or dumbbell, and a deck of cards.

Complete 10 burpees to get into the game.  Guess whether the first card in the deck is red or black.  If you guessed correctly move onto goblet squats (the next exercise on the tree).  If your guess was wrong repeat the burpees before starting the process over.  See how far down the tree you can get in 30-60 minutes.  If you get all the way down the tree complete as many rounds as possible of the abs exercises in the trunk of the tree with the remainder of your time.

If your gym is closed for the holidays but you’ve overworked your gut try this “12 Days of Christmas” workout at home!  All you need is a set of 10-15 pound dumbbells.  Below, I’ve listed the exercises for each “day of Christmas”.  Perform this circuit just as you were singing the well known Christmas carol.  Start with one repetition of the day one exercise, followed by two reps of the second day’s exercise.  Repeat each previous day as you make your way through the song.  Happy Holidays & have fun!!

1 – Plyo Pushup

2 – Burpees

3 – Reverse Flies
