This is a great pre-splurge meal workout. Give it a try and post your scores in the comments section. You will need a Gymboss to time your intervals. Be sure to count your reps and write your scores.
Warm Up- 5 Minutes
Set your timer for 2 intervals- you will work for 20 seconds and transition for 10 seconds. This is called a Tabata interval. You will repeat for 8 rounds (4 minutes). You will do four Tabata intervals using 2 exercise for each Tabata. You will alternate exercises each round. Rest for 1 minute then start all over again with the next superset (pair of exercises).
Superset #1:
Inchworms
Jump Squats
Superset #2:
Mountain Climbers
Alternating Side Kicks
Superset #3:
Plank Jacks
Tuck Jumps
Superset #4:
Repeat Superset #1
FINISHER:
100 Windshield Wipers
Do these as quickly as possible. Time yourself.
Windshield Wipers: Start at the top of a pushup position with your abs and glutes tight. Move your right hand to the right and follow with your left hand. Move your left hand to the left and follow with your right.
Here are my scores:
Superset #1:
