The following exercise took me about 35 minutes to complete. Your time may vary depending on the the duration of breaks in between exercises.
Focus
Today’s exercise will be focused on cardio and full body calisthenics.
Routine
Began with a few leg stretches for about 2min in preparation for the circuit below.
| Exercise | Sets | Duration | Rest Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jump Rope | 1 | 3-4min | warm-up, 3, see notes | |
| Stretch | 1 | 3-5min | ||
| Deadlift Jumps | 6 | 30sec | 5sec | 1, 2see notes |
| Oblique Crunches | 6 | 30sec | 5sec | 1, see notes |
| Burpees | 6 | 30sec | 5sec | 1, see notes |
| Jumping Jacks | 6 | 30sec | 5sec | 1, see notes |
| Push-Ups | 6 | 30sec | 5sec | 1, see notes |
| Standing Bicycle Crunches | 6 | 30sec | 5sec | 1, see notes |
| Rest | 1 | 2min | ||
| Jump Rope | 1 | 3-4min | 3, see notes |
Notes:
- Performed the circuit 6 times with a 5sec rest in between rounds. I used the Interval Timer App for tracking this portion (screenshot below).
- Deadlift jump: Start out standing up, squat down like you are doing a deadlift, touch ground (grab dirt), jump up as you stand up. Here is a YouTube example.
- We are going to try to focus on increasing the duration of our jumping rope. This will help to develop endurance and prolonged coordination. Try to go as long as you can, working on different foot movements and rhythms. I typically start a song that lasts between 3-4 minutes. I try to make it as far as I can without messing up. Continue regardless of how often you trip up.
To progress in difficultly, consider increasing the sets for each cycle, extend the exercise duration or decrease the rest duration. This back to back interval training will work your cardio, especially if you further decrease the rest interval between sets or increasing the work interval time.
If you can’t perform the exercise for the stated duration, consider increasing the number of sets while reducing the duration for each set. The goal would be to complete the total time (ie 6x1min = 6min), regardless of the number of sets it takes you.
Interval Timer App
For keeping track of the intervals, I use the “Interval Timer” on the Google Play app store. It is FREE and pretty basic/easy to use. Link here.
