12 Days of Fitness

Admittedly, in the land of fitness, a derivative of this song to plan a workout is not the most creative idea...sorry! But I think the rendition we did at the Art Museum last night was fairly inspired.

Similar to a ladder, we started at the bottom, or "rung" 1, then did 1 and 2, then 1, 2, and 3, and so on until we got to 12. And when I say "we," I mean "they": Cathy, Paul, Janet and the Dans. They all came through every single repetition of what most said was one of the hardest group workouts yet!

Here's what Trainer gave to Muscle Group on the 12th round:

12 Mountain Climbers
11 Arms-a-dipping
10 Lunges, walking (10 out, 10 back)
9 Quads-a-squatting
8 Planks-a-walking (8 "steps" each way)
7 Stairs-a-stepping (7 step-ups each leg)
6 Push-ups, rotating (6 to each side)
5 Squat Thrusts
4 Tricep Push-ups
3 Stair Flights
2 Trash Can Touches
1 Plank 'til everyone's done

Highlights: A total of 84 rotating push-ups and 36 triceps push-ups per person, jealous onlookers from Fairmount Running Club on rounds 11 and 12.

I have to agree this was the hardest work-out there has been (that I have been to) thus far. It was amazing - rough - exciting - exhausting, and just FUN!!! Good times!

Dan, I agree on every point but what does it mean if you almost throw up and would do it all over again...the workout I mean? Is that sick or what?
