Today was my last day at the gym before Christmas and I got a surprise visit from my personal trainer! I mentioned in a previous post that I’m back at my parents’ house for the winter break, so I haven’t been regularly meeting with my personal trainer at the gym that I usually go to. Over the past few weeks my personal trainer has been doing a great job at checking in with me every single day (even on rest days) and we talk about the workout that I did, how I was feeling while I was doing it, what kind of challenges I might have come across, and what I think I might have to improve on.
For today’s workout, we did CIRCUITS, which a lot of you know I absolutely despise. My trainer always says that we have to switch things up once in a while and do circuit training, so I guess this was his Christmas present to me. Ugh, whatever! We decided to do make the circuit festive by humming the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas song in-between exercises. We did this circuit 3 times and then finished with 30 minutes of cardio (DON’T do the cardio 3x, just the circuit exercises).
“On the 12th day of Christmas my trainer made me do…”
12 weighted squats (with a 15 lb. dumbbell)
11 burpees
10 jumping jacks
9 weighted alternated lunges (with a 10 lb. dumbbell)
8 weighted abdominal crunches (with a 10 lb. plate)
7 weighted step-ups (with a 10 lb. dumbbell)
6 chair dips
5 bicycle crunches
4 mountain climbers
3 30 second wall sits
2 pull ups (un-assisted)
1 45 second plank
…and 30 minutes of cardio too!”
So there you have it, that was my last workout before Christmas! I think it’s safe to say that I will be nice and sore tomorrow for Christmas day. If you have any circuit exercises that you would suggest I try out, let me know in the comments below or on Twitter @pandamoniumpink.com
Keep smiling,
