Abbey’s 12 Days of Christmas WOD

Feeling insecure about my abilities I decided earlier in the week not to go to an affiliate CF. I had been reading and hearing that some CFs do a 12 days of Christmas so I did some research this week and came up with my own.  I knew I had a 20lb dumbbell at my mom’s that I bought light years ago during my swimming career. I think the WOD came out pretty well for my first time developing a CF style workout. I wish I could have included some deadlifts or box jumps but I didn’t have the equipment for those.  Originally I had 5 each single leg squat but before that round came up my right knee felt wonky so I subbed in 5 pushups – knee ones of course.  I need to definitely work on my push ups.  The double unders were attempts and grew very hard towards the end. The plank was a total of 2 minutes – I had to take a break at points as my shoulders always hurt doing them.  I tried to kick up into the handstand but decided lets have a good time and I was tired so I walked up.  My lovely mom took pictures and gave up the living room for the whole time so I could do the workout while listening to Christmas music.  Why doesn’t Rage Against the Machine have a Christmas album – faster music might have helped!  During the WOD, I could hear Sammy and Erin yelling “Just do one at a time” and “keep going”.  I kept telling myself “you got this”.  To end it all my mom and I made breakfast consisting of eggs, BACON, side salad and a white sweet potato. Oh and Coffee.  I have a feeling I will be sore tomorrow but couldn’t be more proud of myself.

So here’s “Abbey’s 12 Days of Christmas”. Feel free to use and adjust the load.
