DD Fitness: Are you able for the 12 rounds of Christmas?

written by Emmet Rushe December 15, 2019
Facebook0Tweet0LinkedIn0Print0

It is officially the season to be jolly. 

All the Grinches, Scrooges and Bah Humbuggers can suck it up, because Santa Claus is coming to town! ☺

Maybe I came on too strong there, but if you aren’t enjoying the holiday season, you need to come and relieve some stress at my Rushe Fitness group training classes. 

Booking for January is open, and places are almost gone.  You know how January is, so don’t wait until it’s too late.
Drop me a message through the link below and we’ll get you started.
CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR PLACE NOW!

Each year, to celebrate the festive season, I have a special workout that I do with my members. 

I have been doing this for the last 3 years and it hasn’t failed to disappoint yet. 

The workout is simple and effective, and by effective I basically mean that it is a bit horrible. 

As it is Christmas, the workout has a Christmassy theme. 

If you know the 12 days of Christmas, (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), that is the inspiration for the workout. 

So, take a minute and have a little sing song to yourself.  Get that catchy tune into your head. Maybe get Sandra from the office to join in and help you.  Can Sandra sing?

Oh, well maybe not then. 

The best part of this workout is that you don’t need much space, or any equipment, but if you have access to some and want to make it harder, you can add some in. 

Want to give it a try?

Here we go. 

The workout goes like the song does (12 days of Christmas)
All you need is an exercise mat. 

 

  • 30 seconds jogging on the spot
  • 2 More Burpees
  • 3 Squat Jumps
  • 4 Forward lunge – (each leg) (add weight if needed)
  • 5 prisoner squats (add weight if needed)
  • 6 reverse lunges – lunging (each leg) (add weight if needed)
  • 7 X-body Mountain Climbers – climbing (each leg)
  • 8 Plank to Press – pressing
  • 9 Push ups – pushing
  • 10 Total Body Extensions – extending
  • 11 Jumping Jacks – jumping

 

  1. 12 Burpees – burping

How you do the workout is exactly like the song. 

Do the 1st exercise;

“On the first day of Christmas, Rushe Fitness gave to me: 30 seconds jogging on the spot”


Then do the 2nd exercise, then the 1st exercise.

“On the second day of Christmas, Rushe Fitness gave to me: 2 more burpees and 30 seconds jogging on the spot.” 


Then do the 3rd exercise, then the 2nd, then the 1st.

“On the 3rd day of Christmas, Rushe Fitness gave to me: 3 Squat Jumps, 2 more burpees and 30 seconds jogging on the spot.” 


Then 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st and so on until you are going from 12 all the way down to 1. 

“On the 4th day of Christmas, Rushe Fitness gave to me: 4 Lunges lunging, 3 squat jumps jumping, 2 more burpees and 30 seconds jogging on the spot.”

You continue to work your way through the workout exactly like the sequence of the song. 

It sounds easy on paper, trust me, it’s not. 

The exercises suggested are to allow minimal equipment to be used. 

If you are in a training facility and have access to a load of equipment, feel free to add in different exercises to make it harder or easier or to suit your style of training.

You are only limited by your imagination. ☺

If you try it out, I’d love to hear how you get on with it.  Send me a message on my Rushe Fitness page through the link below and let me know how you get on with it.

 Santa hats and Christmas jumpers are optional. 
#Lean 2.0

My New Lean 2.0 Challenge kicks off January 6th.

In the past 5 years we have had members drop more than, 20, 30 and 40+ pounds and keep it off. 

So, if you are ready to finally kick the old habits and make a lasting change in the new decade,
click the link below and pre-book your place now.
