This week, we have an all-body, fat burning workout with no name! Yay, nameless workouts!
It’s similar to the wildly successful 12 Minute HIIT in that it alternates with up, down, legs, abs, dynamic plyo, and concentrated short movement. It’s going to target your legs and butt, abs and all around core as well as arms and chest with the pushups. Go get em!
1. Burpies
No pushup and be sure to jump high at position 4.
20 reps

2. Pushups
Good ole standard pushups. Keep your elbows tucked in to avoid shoulder strain.
12 reps

3. Reverse Crunches
Hands on the floor near your butt. Legs don’t go all the way down. Your upper legs don’t go much past 90° to the floor or you will begin using your lower back muscles and hip flexors and they can get strained easily.
We want to concentrate on your lower abs. This is about curling your torso by lifting your hips and lower back off the ground.
Nice and slow, don’t rock or you’ll be using momentum and cheating your abs.
12 reps
4. Dumbbell Lunge Jumps
Hold light dumbbells at your sides, go down into a lunge. Then, dynamically jump up crossing your legs in the air and landing with the opposite leg in front. Go down again into a lunge, and repeat! No stopping; this is a continuous motion. Count Left leg, Right leg as ONE REP.
