12 Days of Christmas is a popular workout routine this time of year. So that is what we did. Except we spun it around and did it backwards. Why, you ask? More reps! So…
- 1 minute warning, no FNGs, disclaimer, quick prayer
Take a step back to enlarge the circle and warmup with…
- 12x SSHs IC
- 12x TTTs IC
- 12x SumoSquats IC
Go grab a block and meet up under the only light shining on campus this morning. YHC explained Christmas of Days 12 but didn’t reveal why we worked our way from 12 to 1 (instead of 1 to 12). That came later at the COT. We turned on some tunes by ZZ Top – our 3 wise men for today.
- Christmas of Days 12
- Day 12 we did… 12
- Day 11 we did… 12, 11
- …
- Day 1 we did… 12, 11, … , 1

So you see working backwards is quite a few more reps. YHC can be tricky that way.
