Stay fit throughout the holiday season with this fit52 workout named after Carrie Underwood’s Christmas album, My Gift! In this 30-minute Christmas workout, you’ll be rotating through the words MY GIFT, with each letter representing an exercise:

Mountain Climbers
Yay! Knee Tuck Burpees
Good Mornings
Inchworms
Frog Squat with Overhead Reach
Toe Touches with Tricep Dips

Set your interval timer for 40 seconds of work and 20 seconds of rest. The idea is to perform as many reps as possible (with good form!) for 40 seconds and rest for 20.

Complete 1-3 rounds. Each round should only take you about 6 minutes. 

Ready? Take a few minutes for warmup stretches, then let’s get started!

For an Extra Challenge:

Replace the 20 second rest period with alternating Forearm Planks and High Planks. If you have a competitive spirit, count your reps for each exercise. Try to get the same number of reps or higher with each round.
