In this 30-minute full-body workout, well cycle through exercises that tone our important muscles. Bonus: well get our heartrates up and burn loads of calories while we do it. BONUS Bonus: we wont be jumping or making any noise, so your neighbors can kick rocks.
Do this set alongside my apartment-friendly washcloth workout every day for 14 days and let me know your results!

This is Day 2 of the Get Fit for The Holidays Challenge. In this 15-minute HIIT workout, well train in intervals in order to maximize the EPOC effect. This means well work as hard as we can during the exercises and let our heart rates come down during the breaks. By doing this, well promote maximum calorie burn that will continue up to 24 hours after the workout ends. If the exercises are ever too much for you for any reason, try the modifications at your max effort.
What is the Get Fit for The Holidays Challenge?
Were taking care of ourselves this season.
12 totally unique workouts between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Uploaded every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
If you subscribe to this channel, you probably already know that I post new videos every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Well, it just so happens that there are 12 Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to make a 12 Days of Christmas workout program for you.
How it works:
Its simple. You dont have to sign up for anything. All you have to do is check this channel for your new workout every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between Thanksgiving and Christmas — starting with the day after Thanksgiving.
Every workout is 15 minutes long and includes beginner modifications, so they should be accessible for any fitness level. If you prefer a 30- or 45-minute workout, feel free to do the video two or three times as needed (though the 15-minute video is a really good workout if you only do it one time through).
Every workout starts with a five-minute cardio session to get your heart rate up, but each of the 12 workouts is totally different. Theres a HIIT workout, a barre workout, a cardio boxing workout, a balance workout, and eight more. If youre a beginner, this is a really good opportunity to try out a wide variety of workouts to see which ones work best for you. Its also just really fun to switch things up.
I think its really easy to forget about taking care of yourself during the holidays, but this year has been rough. I hope youre able to take 15 minutes for yourself. And I really hope you enjoy yourself and feel like a fitter version of yourself by Christmas.
Were starting the morning after Thanksgiving (November 27th at 4am PST). See you then.

In this 60-minute full-body workout, were covering all of our bases! Weve got a warm-up and cool down already built into this set, so you can just dive right in.
After we warm up, well be doing:
Cardio,
Arms,
Legs,
Glutes,
and
Abs!
Well be combining HIIT, shadow-boxing, barre, and body-resistance / strength exercises for a complete workout that is fun and effective. The best part is that none of the exercises repeat. The next best part is no equipment is needed, so you can do this workout at home (or anywhere you feel like doing it, idk, Im not your mom).
Alright, quit reading and get in there already. Youre going to love the way you feel afterward.

You keep asking for toned leg workouts, so heres another! This one is great for those days where you just dont feel up to doing a full cardio workout because it 100% takes place on the mat — mostly while lying on your side. Dont be fooled, though. This one is intense, and you will feel the burn almost immediately.
Well tackle one side for ten minutes, then turn around and do the other side for the last ten minutes. This will help to increase the burn and keep you accountable to finish the entire video. Very sneaky, sis.
Yes, were walking at home, but this workout is going to get your heart rate up and youll be burning lots of calories and burn fat!!! While filming this workout, I managed to hit 3.9km (2.5miles) and also burned 350Cals in 38 minutes. Youd be burning an average of 300 — 450 calories depending on your speed of walking and also body composition. This workout also low impact and beginner friendly. Perfect for anybody to get started from home!
**Total Calories burned will vary depending on your body composition, workout intensity and also fitness level.
Tabata is a form of interval training where well do an exercise as hard as we can for 20 seconds, and then rest for 10 seconds. By doing this, well burn tons of calories fat (even while we rest) and build endurance. Some of the sets repeat. Some of them dont. I like to keep my brain on its toes.
Before you jump into this workout, do this warmup to help prevent injuries: youtu.be/xEgv8Xtn2R8
Cooling down after your workout every time you work out is so important for preventing injuries. Do this cool down every time you finish one of my workouts for good luck or whatever.

The amount of calories youll burn from this 30-minute workout will vary from person to person, but I slapped a heartrate monitor on my husband (who burns a very average amount of calories), and he burned 483 calories by the end of the workout. Additionally, he burned 220 calories while resting for the next half hour that followed the workout. Thats the cool thing about HIIT workouts, you keep burning calories while youre resting. Anyway, in an hour, he burned a whopping 703 calories from this 30-minute workout. If youve got a heart monitor of your own, slap it on and let me know how much you burn at the end of the workout and the end of your rest period!
I designed this workout to be accessible to anyone. There are modifications for every exercise in this routine for anyone who is a beginner, cant do jumping exercises, or just wants to take it a little easier. If youre having a hard time with the full workout, I suggest doing the modifications for a beat until youre ready to jump back into the full exercises. This will help condition your body to be ready for the full exercises.
Do this set three times a week and let me know how your body changes!

Its important to do a workout recovery at least once every week. Feel free to only do it once a week as maintenance, whenever your body feels sore or tight, or any time you want to work on your flexibility and mobility.
I usually dont talk in my workout videos, but this one felt like youd probably want some verbal cues and guidance. Dont get used to it, pal.
