Christmas Chipper: “12 Days of Christmas”

Do the following exercises as you would sing the Christmas song.  Start at 1 and work your way up to 12:

12 Weighted Squat Jumps (Break parallel to hips fully extended)

11 Power Cleans (95/65lbs)

10 Double-unders

 9  Box Jumps

 8 Knees to Elbows

 7 Kettlebell Swings (1.5 pood/1 pood)

 6 Thrusters (95/65lbs)

 5 Push-ups

 4 Broad Jumps

 2 Renegade Row (2 each arm- 35/25lbs)

Happy Holidays!  I understand many of you are going out of town for the holidays and may be limited with equipment and training facilities.  Therefore, I will be posting workouts that can be performed with limited equipment/and lack of access to a gym.  If you were unable to perform the Strength WODs posted on Monday and Tuesday (Front Squats/Push Presses), and do have access to a gym, please make these up! 

On another note, I wanted to express how impressed I am at the foundations trainees!  It has been really rewarding to see your focus, determination, and progression.  Keep up the great work!  I hope to see you all in the regular group classes!
