Holiday Fat-Blasting Lower Body Workout Ladder

Hey everyone,

The holiday season heralds celebrations with friends and family, which translates into many temptations (and deviations from our usual fitness and healthy eating routine).  While it is a great idea to try to limit your food and alcohol intake over the holidays, keeping up with your workouts can also help offset some of that dreaded holiday weight gain...


A ladder workout is an efficient, yet challenging workout.  You can easily tailor it to the amount of time your have, by choosing more or fewer exercises.  We have put together a lower body ladder workout that includes 3 different exercises (one exercise is performed on both the right and left side).  Start with 10 reps of each exercise (complete each exercise consecutively), followed by 9 reps, 8 reps and so on, until you reach 1 rep. At that point, you have completed the ladder! 

The four exercises we completed were:
  1. Kettlebell swings
  2. Kettlebell goblet squats
  3. Kettlebell single-leg deadlifts (right leg)
  4. Kettlebell single-leg deadlifts (left leg)

Completing the exercises with minimal rest gives you a great fat-blasting workout - give it a try and let us know what you think.  Happy holidays!
