Active Farmer Christmas Workout

Firstly, I want to wish all Active Farmers a very happy Christmas surrounded by family and friends.

If you are planning on indulging tomorrow (rightly so) I thought, I would post a 35-minute workout that I use when I don’t have much time. Why not kick start your metabolism tomorrow morning and give yourself an extra energy boost with a short/high intensity workout to make your day extra enjoyable J
