This hardcore 12 Days of Christmas workout will burn off all that turkey dinner

Have you been sat ploughing through turkey dinners, mince pies and chocolate selection boxes for the past few days?

Have you swilled enough beer to sink a small boat? Has the food guilt started creeping in after a jolly old Christmas food binge? You're going to need a pretty tasty workout to burn that lot off. Well, we've got just the workout for you - it's an all-in-one muscle-building, fat-burning, cardio blast that will sweat the Christmas right out of you. Thanks CrossFit Clitheroe. It's festive themed too, obviously. The 12 Days of Christmas workout basically follows the Christmas carol - except instead of the 'five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens' etc - we've cunningly replaced them with exercises. So you do 1, then 2 and 1, then 3 and 2 and 1, then 4 and 3 and 2 and 1 - all the way up to 12. Try to do the whole circuit without a break...and without bringing your Christmas dinner back up. it should take a good 20 minutes.
