Fit Thursday to you!

I hope your last few days of 2011 are going well and you’re doing your best to Fight Holiday Season Weight Gain before it starts. Since we’re on the subject of being proactive and because we have 1 major holiday left to prepare for, New Years Eve, I thought I’d share a great Burn & Earn Workout you can do to create a caloric deficit, peak for a fun night out/in and simply continue being your awesome self.

Vanessa and I did this exact Burn & Earn workout Christmas morning to work off our own holiday fun, so you can also use it as a post holiday recovery / glycogen depletion workout. Enjoy!

4 Circuits, 10:5 work to rest, max reps, 16 rounds, 1min rest b/w circuits.

A1. 1-Arm DB Swing

A2. Front Plank

A3. 1-Arm DB Squat to High Pull

A4. Side Plank

A5. 1-Arm DB Burpee

A6. Backside Bridge
