Perform each exercise for four rounds or “sets” for 45 seconds
with 15 second breaks in-between sets. This equals a 25-minute
workout, and by using this method of time vs. reps, you create
a rhythm keeping your heart rate up and in turn giving you
a dose of cardio.
1 . Jumping Lunge – Starting in a lunge position, jump and
quickly swap leg positions in mid-air, keeping your torso
straight. Land in the lunge position, bending your knees to
absorb the impact. Launch straight into the next jump switching
your feet once more and landing in your original lunge position.
Works the glutes, quads and hamstrings.
