Okay, I was onto something there, but let's cut to the chase. My gift to all of you this Christmas is my infamous 12 Days of Fitness workout. If you have ever taken a fitness class with me in the past, this is a holiday favorite.
As always, be sure to warm up adequately before jumping into this routine.
Here we go! Perform the exercises the same way you would sing the song. In other words, keep accumulating a new exercise with each round. Oh and of course, make sure to sing along :)
