10 of Harrisburg’s most festive gathered around some picnic tables at Stallings Park to listen to some Trans-Siberian Orchestra and slang some iron in a workout inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas (which we did NOT listen to). Here’s what happened:
Warmup:
Mosey to tennis courts for some warmup excercises. In the spirit of 12 Days Of Christmas, we started with 12 and worked our way down.
- SSH x12
- Windmills x11
- Hillbillies x10
- Mountain Climbers x9
- Low Dollies x8
- Box Cutters x7
- LBC’s x6
- RBC’s x5
- Slow Squats x4
- Michael Phelps x3
- Imperial Storm Troopers x2
- Merkin x1
Mosey back to the shelter and choose a table. Each table had one of the following exercises:
- Curls (your choice)
- Lawn Mowers (right arm)
- Lawn Mowers (left arm)
- Tricep Extensions
- High Rows
- Merkins
- Overhead Press
- Deadlift
- Halos
- Chest Press
- Kettlebell Swings
- Goblet Squat
Work that exercise for a minute, then take a 30 second break while rotating to the next table. 12 exercises total (12 Days of Christmas, see where we’re going here?). Do this for two rounds.
Mary:
- LBC’s x10
- Squirm x10
- Freddie Mercury x10
Announcements:
- 12 Q’s of Christmas start Monday.
- Speaking of Monday, we will have a special Circuit Breaker workout Monday 12/11 at 5:30 AM at the Speedway. Check Wexler’s post from 12/6 for details.
- I believe it was also Wexler who challenged everyone to get 12 workouts in this month.
Prayer Requests:
- Wexler’s Sister in Law.
- Solo Cup’s friend’s wife.
Praise:
- Forgot to mention it this morning but Deadhead passed his 777 test(s), so he will now get to fly those beasts. Congrats!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. It always goes by fast and I always feel like I don’t do everything I want to properly celebrate it. I wanted to make today’s workout somewhat Christmas-themed, so I appreciate everyone muddling through it with me. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
