I created this workout to give myself some motivation to sweat it out at the gym this morning before all of the holiday fun kicks in. A little forethought goes a long way for this girl and I like arriving at the gym with a game plan. It helps me push myself harder and not waste time wandering around hoping for workout inspiration to randomly strike. A plan it where it’s at!
Total Body Hot Holiday Workout
This workout is your basic 50-40-30-20-10 rep workout. There are three blocks and while the first two include upper and lower body exercises and plyometric bursts that will get your heart rate up, the final block focuses solely on the core to leave your abs burning at the end.
It’s a workout you can easily do at home if you have access to dumbbells (just use one heavy dumbbell in place of a kettlebell for the kettlebell swings and omit the bosu from the bosu exercises) so grab a friend or family member and get it doooone.

Looks like a great workout! I’m finishing up my cup of coffee and then heading to the gym myself!
Love (to hate) the BOSU burpees! Great workout! 🙂
I haven’t been able to get to the gym in about 6 weeks because of work. I can’t wait!

So wishing I had time to run by the gym today before we travel! This workout would probably kill my 9 week postpartum bod!
I’ll be giving this workout a try over the weekend.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! I will definitely be giving these a try now that I have some time off work and can relax, focus on running and workouts and friends and family and blogging, and not my day occupation (which generally becomes evening) 😉
These are awesome! I love circuit workouts, they sure do make you sweat!
Love these ideas! Merry first Christmas Chasey!
Great ideas, thanks for sharing!
working out and getting all hot and sweaty feels especially good in these colder months!
Great holiday workout roundup. It is so important to stay active during the holidays. These are great to help us do it.
Thanks so much for sharing these workouts! I did the first one this morning with my husband. After a 4-day hiatus, it was just the kick in the butt that we needed to get back on track after the holidays!
I’m behind the times, but I’m going to share this with my healthy living group!
