Holiday Hustle: 45-Minute Holiday Bootcamp Workout with Fit Foodie Finds

get in the holiday spirit with this 45-minute holiday bootcamp workout {makes a great post-holiday workout too}! 

I’m officially in the Holiday spirit — there is snow on the ground, I watched Home Alone with the hubs, I’m sipping honey lavender hot cocoa as I write this post and I worked out with reindeer bells on my head earlier this week!

If you follow me on Instagram you know that Lee {Fit Foodie Finds} and I hosted a Holiday Hustle Sweat + Give Back Event earlier this week. We wanted to get in the holiday spirit with some of our Minneapolis friends while contributing to a local family in need this holiday season. For being such a last minute event, it was a total success! Huge thank you to everyone who showed up and contributed. 

This group of amazing ladies crushed some burpees and raised over $350; all proceeds from the event were donated to You First Inc to purchase items for a local Minnesota family in need this holiday season.

And for those of you who couldn’t make to the event we wanted to share the Holiday Hustle 45-Minute Bootcamp-style workout we did. So grab your friends, family, and santa hats, and get ready to sweat during these 30-second strength circuits paired with cardio tabata intervals.

The Workout: 45-minute holiday bootcamp workout with fit foodie finds
