I’m a personal trainer — this CrossFit-inspired 12 Days of Christmas workout torched my body in 30 minutes

The 12 Days of Christmas CrossFit workout is one of the most renowned of the holiday season, putting members through the wringer with a 12-move combo of full-body exercises capable of torching every muscle group. It’s the gift you never asked for — and never wanted. 

With 12 exercises to complete in the style of the famous 12 Days of Christmas song — meaning you’ll add an exercise each round and run them back down to the starting exercise each time — and a time cap of just 35 minutes, I haven’t seen many people escape without collapsing into a sweaty heap afterward, including me.
