Looking for a great holiday workout? This 25 Days of Christmas workout will help you work up a sweat and get a jump start on those New Year’s resolutions! Check out the full workout below!
Ho ho ho!! I don’t know about you, but I always indulge a little bit during the holidays. And why shouldn’t I enjoy some yummy food? Christmas ham, ravioli, pecan pie, baked sweet potatoes with cranberries and apples, and mmmm Christmas sangria. They are all things I don’t really eat during the year, so at Christmas I taste a little bit of EVERYTHING.
But what I don’t do is skimp out on my fitness routine. I know I will feel better if I keep up with my workouts, and this year I created a special bonus workout just for Christmas Eve! So if you’re looking for a way to prep for all of those extra calories, try out my 25 Days of Christmas Workout and then enjoy some pie for me!
Here’s how I planned this workout:
There are 25 moves, and each one has 25 reps. So that’s 25 squats, 25 pushups, 25 high knees, etc.
When it comes to lunges, split squats, and exercises that use one leg at a time, you have the option to do 26 total (because we don’t want to do just 12 on one side and 13 on the other!) OR 25 on each leg.
I always do 25 of each leg because I really want to feel that burn!
If you need to modify any of the moves, go for it. There’s no real right or wrong way to do this workout. Just get your heart rate up and move your body!
