A couple of things to keep in mind:
- You should try to be as festive as possible during this workout. Wear antlers, wear red and green clothing, wear bells, sing Christmas carols. Be as obnoxiously festive as you can.
- There isn't a lot of leg work in this workout. If you want to work your legs, change some of the exercises or add to them. We were plenty tired without working our legs.
- We have been doing this workout for several years. Each year it takes a little longer to wear us out. But if this is your first year and you want to take it easy, do just some of the exercises. Or if you're a maniac, do the whole thing twice. Whatever works for you is what we want you to do.
- Singing the song as you work out can be quite annoying to the people around you. Don't ask us how we know that.
Directions: For the first round, perform the first day exercise (5 push-ups). For the second round, perform the second day exercise AND the first day exercise (5 stability ball crunches and 5 push-ups). Continue in this manner until in the last round, you will perform all twelve exercises. If you're good at math you will have quickly calculated that you will have done 60 push-ups by the end of this workout.
