San Jose Fitness Trainers' 12 Days of Fitmas Workout

It’s time for this year’s edition of the 12 Days of Fitmas Workout from our San Jose fitness trainers!

It’s a total body workout that’s in the format of “The 12 Days of Christmas” song. 

It’s super fun to do with your kids, family, and friends … or even as a challenge for yourself. Our San Jose fitness trainers love this workout and we think you will too!

Remember, staying active during the holidays is SO IMPORTANT. It can help you:

• Feel energized
• Improve your sleep
• Burn off some calories and
• Even boost your immune system.

Here’s how our San Jose fitness trainers' “The 12 Days of Fitmas Challenge” works: 

There are 12 rounds … and every round, you add a new exercise that corresponds to the day it represents in the song.

So, for round 1, you would do 1 burpee. In round 2, you would do 2 lunges (each side) + 1 burpee. Round 3 would be 3 push-ups +2 lunges (each side) + 1 burpee… all the way to round 12, where you would do the whole thing from day 12 through day 1.

Here we go ...
