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.
This 45-minute holiday or post-holiday workout consists of 5 bootcamp circuits. Each circuit has two strength-based exercises; complete each exercise for 30 seconds x 2 sets. Then perform the cardio tabata, 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest x 4 cycles. Repeat the entire workout x 2 sets for a full 45-minute circuit.
If you have access to medium-weight dumbbells, resistance thigh bands, a medicine ball, and gliders {or hand towels} add them to this circuit. But you can also do this entire routine using just your bodyweight, no equipment needed.
CIRCUIT ONE {with optional set of medium dumbbells}:
X 2 Sets
Cardio Tabata: Squat + Jack + Jack X 4 Cycles
CIRCUIT TWO {with optional thigh resistance bands (affiliate)}:
X 2 Sets
Cardio Tabata: Runner Squats X 4 Cycles
CIRCUIT THREE {with optional gliders or hand towels}:
X 2 Sets
Cardio Tabata: Power Knee Drives {2 cycles per leg} X 4 Cycles
CIRCUIT FOUR {with optional medicine ball}:
X 2 Sets
Cardio Tabata: Squat + Hop + Hop X 4 Cycles
CIRCUIT FIVE {with optional gliders or hand towels}:
X 2 Sets
Cardio Tabata: Burpees X 4 Cycles

Lee and I want to wish you the happiest of holiday’s and also send a huge thank you to our Holiday Hustle event sponsors: Juice So Good, WholeMe, Lorissa’s Kitchen, Larabar and The Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition General Mills.
