XMAS BURN #25–52: 9 Moves to Fire Up Your Holiday Engine

You’ve made it through the mall traffic, the gift wrapping, the endless cookies — now it’s time for the real burn.

XMAS BURN #25–52 is a 9-move, no-nonsense DEKA-style workout designed to torch calories, build power, and give your body the kind of gift it actually wants: a serious challenge.

The Lineup:

  • Farmer Carry
  • Box Jump
  • Dead Ball Shoulder Over
  • Med Ball Reverse Lunge
  • Hand Release Push-Ups
  • Echo Bike
  • KB Push Press
  • Single Leg RDL
  • Push-Up

This one’s all about controlled strength, explosive movement, and mental pacing. Whether you’re carrying heavy, jumping high, or grinding it out on the bike, each station stacks the fatigue while demanding sharp form.

It’s the perfect end-of-year sweat — tough, straightforward, and deeply satisfying.

Coaching Tips:

  • Farmer Carry: Keep shoulders back and grip tight. Stay tall, move with control.
  • Box Jump: Land soft. Stand fully at the top. Pick a height you can own for every rep.
  • Dead Ball Shoulder Over: Stay close to the ball. Use legs to drive, not just the arms.
  • Med Ball Reverse Lunge: Keep the core engaged and the movement clean. Ball stays chest-high.
  • Hand Release Push-Ups: Touch the floor fully, then drive back up. No shortcuts.
  • Echo Bike: It’s a sprint, not a stroll. Push hard and recover later.
  • KB Push Press: Dip and drive. Don’t turn it into a strict press. Use your legs.
  • Single Leg RDL: Control the hinge. Keep the back flat. This is about balance and strength.
  • Push-Up (again): Round two on the floor. Stay consistent. Lock in your core and go.

Every rep is a checkpoint. Every station a new challenge. Pace smart, breathe deep, and push through.

XMAS BURN #25–52 isn’t about finishing pretty — it’s about showing up, sweating hard, and finishing what you started. The year’s almost done. You’ve got time for one more challenge. One more burner. One more reminder of what you’re capable of.
