A festive standing strength ladder set to Christmas music: 12 exercises built up like the song, with light weights and a warm-up.

Inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas, this total body strength workout is built as a ladder: exercises are added one at a time until you reach all 12, from overhead presses and squats to rows, deadlifts, side leg lifts and high Vs, all to Christmas music. A full warm-up and cool-down are included, the instructor uses 5-pound weights, and the video runs about 26 minutes.

Who Is It For?

Anyone with a pair of light dumbbells who wants a fun, seasonal total body strength workout done standing, beginners included.

Who Is It Not For?

Key Benefits

Works the whole body with light weights in a festive, non-stop ladder format that builds strength, endurance and holiday spirit.

Things to Keep in Mind

Start with lighter weights if unsure, keep your core braced and balanced on step-backs and heel raises, and pause whenever you need a break.
