Holiday Themed Workout Fun

Hectic Holiday Circuit

What you need: 
Moderate weight dumbbells and a timer

How do it: 
After a 5 minute dynamic full body warm-up, perform each exercise for 1 minute.  Move to next exercise with little to no rest.  Repeat circuit 3 to 4 times with 1 to 2 minute rest between rounds.  Cool down & stretch!

The exercises:
Hide the Gifts   It's as if you are leaning and reaching to place a gift on a low shelf....Perform alternating Single Leg RDL with reach

Chop the Wood  Hold one dumbbell with both hands and perform a high to low wood chop.  Switch sides after 30 seconds.

Drink the Coffee   Pick up both dumbbells, hold a wall sit while doing alternating hammer curls.

Climb the Ladder  Think high knees with alternating reaches to the ceiling.  Right arm up, left knee up then left arm up, right knee up. Do slow with full range of motion or go for speed!

Top the Tree   Pick up both dumbbells again.  Perform a squat with weights near shoulders and as you return to standing, press one weight up overhead to full extension of arm.  Back into squat, push other weight overhead.  Repeat.

Around the World  Front lunge, lateral lunge, reverse lunge.  Switch legs. Repeat for time.   Hold a dumbbell in each hand for little more challenge.

The Home Alone Workout
