More Holiday Fun

My sister-in-law Keri, in town for the holidays, agreed to accompany me to the gym on Christmas Eve.  Her gym at home keeps eucalyptus-scented towels in a little refrigerator and the fitness staff walks around offering them to the members.  Luckily she gave me this information before we arrived at my gym, so she was forewarned that there would be no eucalyptus-scented towels awaiting her there. 

What was awaiting us, though?  Becky had been hard at work creating yet another of her masterful holiday-themed workouts.  This one was called "Undecorate the Tree." 

Under each of the ornaments were instructions for a different exercise.  Some were serious - like five minutes of cardio with 45 seconds hard and 15 seconds recovery to each minute.  Others were just for fun - like creating some elf mischief in the gym.  Angela surprised the heck out of a young man when she changed the weights on his machine between sets.

We had so much fun with this workout that by the end of our workout, there were six people participating.  People who weren't participating with us were surely feeling jealous as we sang "Deck the Halls" and "Jingle Bell Rock" while doing walking lunges up and down the hall.  After telling Keri recently that our workouts never exceeded an hour, this one of course took an hour and a half. 

Here's the group, with our fearless leader decked out in antlers at the bottom (she wanted to be sure you could see her holiday socks).

The Two Buff Chicks hope you had a Merry Christmas and will have much joy and exercise in the coming year.
