The Twelve Gains of Christmas 🎄

Here's a fun little festive circuit to do over the Christmas break. It's all bodyweight so no kit required, great if you feel in need of some movement and want to get the blood pumping.

1. Hand walkout to plank
2. Press ups
3. Squats
4. Plank and rotation
5. Burpees
6. Star jumps
7. Leg raises
8. Lunges
9. Bicycle crunch
10. Renegade rows
11. Squat jumps
12. Curtsey lunges

Warm up a bit first then do each exercise in the style of the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" i.e...

1 Hand walkout to plank

2 Press-ups, 1 Hand walkout to plank

3 Squats, 2 Press-ups, 1 Hand walkout to plank

4 Plank & rotation, 3 Squats, 2 Press-ups, 1 Hand walkout to plank

5 Burpees, 4 Plank & rotation, 3 Squats, 2 Press-ups, 1 Hand walkout to plank

etc etc until you get all the way to 12.

Matt's done a v quick demo video of each exercise, all of them are scalable, for example press ups on knees, Burpees with hands on a bench etc. Do whatever variation of each exercise works for you, just add in the comments if you want us to explain any different variations 👍

We hope you enjoy it 🎄

POV..

When you haven't dipped for two weeks because of a new tattoo.

Last time you dipped it was in the Channel in 12 degree water.

Today it was in an estuary running into the North Sea, in 7 degree water.

Bloody freezing!! 🥶

Last workout of my forties complete ✅

Life has been good to me in the last decade, the usual ups and downs, but I'm very grateful to have had such a good life so far.

At 41 I had a total hysterectomy (kept my ovaries) This improved my health immeasurably at the time and I recovered really well from it. I went on to be the strongest and fittest I'd ever been.

We bought and converted our van Arthur and have had many wonderful adventures in him. This was definitely one of our best life decisions!

My elderly Mum has been gravely ill and made miraculous recoveries several times. She is amazing and such an inspiration to me.

The last few years have been very challenging for me with chronic pain and injuries from my hypermobillity. This has got much worse with dwindling Oestrogen. However 2 months on HRT and I'm feeling much stronger and more hopeful to be able to return to a bit more hiking, swimming and lifting over time.

I embraced a sober lifestyle 4 years ago which I'm so grateful for. My life is SO much better without hangovers and hangxiety.

Things I would advise my younger self... (although she probably wouldn't take 😅)

✨ Do less bendy yoga and more strength training.

✨ Eat to fuel your body and brain. To build muscle and bone resilience and bring you joy! Not to try to make yourself smaller.

✨Floss your teeth!

✨What other people think of you is their business, not yours.

✨Say no when you don't want to do things rather than people please.

✨ Listen to your body when it's in pain and trying tell you something. Don't keep pushing, ignoring and end up injuring yourself more.

I have very mixed emotions to turning 50 to be honest. It's a privilege to get older, I know that. I'm much more aware of my own aging and physical capacity now.

However, I'm glad of the peace and wisdom that comes with age. I'm grateful to have a contented life, a wonderful marriage with Matt, loving sisters, family and friends.

Let's see what fifty brings.....🙌
