Mosey to endzone for 12 Days of Christmas
You know how the workout goes, after each new “day”, repeato all the previous ‘days”. For example on Day 5: 5 Merkins, then exercises from days 4, 3, 2, and 1
– Day 1: 1 100 yd run to other endzone (after Day 5, we sprinted second 50 yds)
– Day 2: 2 dozen LBCs #crowdpleaser
– Day 3: 3 Merkins
– Day 4: 4 Flutter Kicks
– Day 5: 5 Merkins
– Day 6: 6 Squats
– Day 7: 7 Merkins
– Day 8: 8 Dolly
– Day 9: 9 Merkins
– Day 10: 10 Lunges
– Day 11: 11 Merkins
– Day 12: 12 Imperial Walker
We finished this round of 12 Days pretty quickly, so a ladder back down seemed appropriate.
