Christmas caroling takes on a new meaning

Last night's track workout was definitely the most unusual yet--and yes, it was even fun, dare I say (shh, no one tell Coach Kris, or she'll make us do it again ;)). We've done circuit workouts at track before, but never like this: we did twelve rounds of circuits, all done to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas.

Think for a second about what this means... This means that each round, we add a new exercise, perform it at the # of reps that that particular round calls for ON TOP OF the previous exercises we'd picked up at each round. Yup. How does 12 blazin' burpees, 11 toes a prancin', 10 crabs a walking, 9 seconds of side planks (on each side), 8 butt kicks, 7 speed skaters, 6 runners running, 5 push-ups, 4 walking lunges, 3 jumpking jacks, 2 squats, and a 15-second front plank sound? Well, when you do this 12 times, with a lap on the track in between each round, I can tell you it gets exhausting ;).

But it was fun and boy did we get a workout :). And hey, we even got to "skip" core this week (ok, not really--it was already built into the circuit workout itself).

What will the coaches have in store for us next track, I wonder?
