The holiday season is here, and while Santa’s busy getting ready to deliver gifts, he also needs to stay fit for the big night! You, too, can sleigh your fitness routine this holiday season with fun, festive exercises inspired by Santa himself. You only need a few pieces of versatile equipment and a holly jolly spirit to complete this workout. Whether you’re lifting kettlebells like Santa’s sleigh bells or practicing your precision with disc golf, you’ll feel merry and bright all season long.
Let’s get moving and jingling with these holiday-inspired workout ideas put together by Santa and Play It Again Sports ~ Brentwood & Hendersonville!
Warm-Up: The “Santa Shuffle”
Grab your kettlebell and channel Santa loading his sleigh!
- Start with a light kettlebell swing to mimic tossing presents onto the sleigh.
- Add a side shuffle to work your legs and core, imagining you’re dodging reindeer while hustling through the North Pole.
Exercise 1: The Reindeer Power Pull
- Equipment Needed: Dumbbells or kettlebells
Santa needs reindeer-like strength to pull his sleigh, and this move will help you harness that power!
- Hold a kettlebell or dumbbell in both hands.
- Perform a bent-over row, pulling the weight toward your chest like you’re reining in Rudolph.
- Repeat for 12 reps, then give a big “Ho, ho, ho!” for fun.
Exercise 2: The Merry Mulligan Golf Stretch
- Equipment Needed: Golf club
Even Santa needs to relax after a long night of flying around. Use your golf club for a full-body stretch:
- Hold the club with both hands overhead.
- Lean side to side like you’re perfecting your swing.
- For an extra twist, practice your putting stance and squat for a quick leg burn.
Exercise 3: The “Sleigh Bell Slam”
- Equipment Needed: Kettlebells
Get your heart pumping with a kettlebell workout that jingles all the way:
- Perform a kettlebell clean-and-press, pretending you’re hoisting Santa’s sleigh bells.
- Lower the kettlebell with control and repeat for 10 reps on each side.
- Bonus points if you sing your favorite carol during the set!
Exercise 4: The Disc Dash Drill
- Equipment Needed: Disc golf discs and target basket
Santa may fly through the night, but you can practice precision with this agility and accuracy combo:
- Set up a target basket or makeshift holiday “chimney.”
- Sprint 20 feet while holding your disc golf disc, then stop and toss it into the target.
- Do 10 rounds, adding jumping jacks for every missed shot. It’s a playful way to work on coordination and cardio!
Cool Down: The “Chimney Stretch”
Santa’s got to stay limber to shimmy down those chimneys. Finish your workout with some light stretches:
- Use a golf club or dumbbell for balance as you stretch your hamstrings.
- Hold a kettlebell overhead for a deep side stretch, imagining you’re waving goodbye from Santa’s sleigh.
