The 12 Pains of Christmas, Presented by The Grinch (2023)

QIC: Zima

Date: 12/19/23

PAX: Still on the reindeer roster from last year: Drip, Root Canal, Van Gogh, Spicoli, Zima
Rookie reindeer: Doublewide, Wooly Bugger, Madoff, Cruiser
Didn’t make the cut from last year: 10

The temperature at last year’s reindeer training for the 12 Pains was quite chilly.  This year (364 days later) was roughly the same with the wind providing the unpublished pain of 21 degrees.

BEATDOWN.

The Grinch doesn’t do things the normal Christmas-y way, so we’re going to reverse that holly jolly song.  In The 12 Pains of Christmas, the order is: 12, then 12 + 11, the 12 + 11 + 10 etc.  Here are the exercises.

12: Hundred Feet of Sleigh Riding [Mosey]

11: Christmas Present Cutters [Box Cutters]

10: Diamond Earring Burpees [You know, diamond earrings.  The gift you’re “supposed” to get your wife.]

9: Hillbilly Toy Soldier Squats

8: Shoulder Tap Merry Mike Tysons [Merry is the word that comes to mind when you think of him, right?]

7: Dreidel Squats [Ratchet Squats – DC]

6: Rudolphs [Red Nose Tap Hand Release Merkins] Note: If anyone can figure out how to tap your nose without releasing your hands, I’d like to know.  Wait, on second thought, DON’T tell me.  Nevermind.

5: Grinch Getups [Prisoner Getups]

4: Rooftop Hopping Dominick the Christmas Donkey Kicks [Donkey Kicks with a Stand Up Side-to-Side Jump]

3: Super “North” Stars [Mary Katherines – DC]
