    Ab Chopper -
    30 reps
    Sumo Twist Crunch-
    30 reps
    Plank Lift Off-
    30 reps

    Instructions:
    There are 10 exercisese that you have to go through twice to complete all 600 reps. If you are just starting with our workouts, I suggest that you go through them only once and complete beginners can cut down the reps even more and do only 15 reps for each exercise. Either way your goal is to complete this workout as fast as possible while keeping good form. Set your Interval Timer as a stop watch and get started!

    Jump Lunge & Kick Up – 30 reps
    Start in the lung position jump up and switch legs in mid air. Kick the back leg up and forward and try to touch your toes. This is one rep.
    Side Burpee Knee Tuck (there is no push up, but you can add one if you feel like it) – 30 reps alternating sides.
    Super Girl Squat – 30 reps alternating legs
    Start by standing on your left leg, do a half squat and then extend your right leg back into the super girl pose. This is one rep. Switch legs after each rep.
    Diving Knee Tucks – 30 reps
    Slide forward as if you were doing dive bomber push up, and push your hips straight up on the way back instead of sliding. Then do 2 diagonal knee tucks. This counts as 1 rep.
    Jack Jump Tuck – 30 reps
    Jump your feet appart keeping low, jump your feet together and jump up tucking your knees in.
    3D Push Ups – 30 reps
    Each push up counts as 1 rep. Start with your hands wide appart and do a push up – each time you go down for a push up jump your feet appart. Jump your feet back together as you push up. Walk your hands closer together and do a push Up. Walk your hands together so that your fingers are toughing and do a push up. Now walk your hands wide appart again and keep going until you complet 30 push ups.
    One Leg Jump Up – 15 reps on each leg
    Plank Lift Off – 30 reps
    Start in a plank, jump your feet forward, jump your feet appart and jump up. Now reverse the order to get back into the plank. This counts as 1 rep.
    Sumo Twist – 30 reps alternate legs
    Keep low throughout this exercise.
    Ab Chopper – 30 reps
    The first picture is your starting position. Sit up with your clasped hands and reach towards the left side. Return on your back and then sit up reaching forward. Lay down and sit up again reaching towards the right side. Lay down and start again reaching towards the left side. Each sit up counts as 1 rep

    Chicken Fried Quinoa

    Ingredients:
    • Spray or 1 tbsp EVO  (I used spray) you can also use coconut oil or sesame or spray/mister
    • 4 scallions, greens & whites separate, chopped
    • 1/2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 med zucchini, diced
    • 1 carrots, diced
    • 1/4 chopped yellow bell pepper
    • 1 cups bite-size broccoli florets
    • 1/2 cups mushrooms (preferably shiitake), stems removed, sliced
    • 4oz. chicken breast (you can also do ¼ lb thigh & ¼ lb breast)
    • 1/4 cup dried quinoa & cooked (this is where I swapped the 4 cups of cooked brown rice, so make as much or as little quinoa that you want & cook it ahead of time…..this recipe yields 4 servings)
    • 1/2 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce….this is where I used BRAGG’S Liquid Aminos in place of the soy sauce
    • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten (1 egg & 1 egg white or you can just do whites too)
    Directions:
    • In  a wok or a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is lightly smoking, add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic; cook for 30-45sec. Add the zucchini, carrots, broccoli & mushrooms and cook for 4-5min, using a spatula to stir the vegetables throughout. Add the chicken and continue to cook for 2-3min, until the pieces are no longer pink.Stir in the cooked quinoa & liquid aminos, cook for another 5 min, allowing the quinoa to get crispy on the bottom. Create an empty space in the middle of the pan and add the eggs. Use a spoon or the spatula to quickly scramble the eggs until light and fluffy, then stir them into the rest of the ingredients. Serve garnished with the scallion greens.
    • This recipe was adapted from the Eat This Not That book with a few of my own modifications. I also added in some bean sprouts since I had some. You can add any veggies that you would like….edamame, peppers, broccoli slaw, peas….etc. You can even do shrimp instead or just veggies. This is really yummy! I hope you enjoy it!

You can see each one of them in my workout video and Freddy even named them for you so that you can easily follow the flow of the workout. The entire workout is made up of varieties of Burpees which is my favourite exercise ;)  there are 10 different burpee exercises and you will do 10 reps for each on of them. Your goal is to go through the circuit of the 10 exercises 4 times in order to complete 400 reps. Try to do this workout as fast as you can without sacrificing proper form. I did all 4 rounds in 1 hour 10 minutes and 22 seconds. I had to start doing push ups off of my knees in the third round, however I didn’t give up and I completed the entire workout using the easier modifications for beginners.
        There are just a few basic rules to remember:
        1. Whenever you are in plank, keep your body in one straight line and don’t drop your hips.
        2. Always keep your shoulders away from your ears.
        3. Keeping your abs tight for each move and exercise is what you should be focused on.
        4. If you can’t jump in or out of plank, then step in or step out of it.
        5. If you can’t do pull ups, use a chair for support and try at least negatives – which means you will control the movement on the way down without using the chair for support.
        6. If you don’t have the exercise equipment (pull up bar, dip station) then repeat 2 Burpee exercises of your choice that don’t require equipment.
        7. Beginners will complete at least 1 round and push for 2.
        This workout is very advanced and intense, however I would like to encourage all beginners to give it a try. If you can’t do regular push ups, do them from your knees and try to bend your elbows at least a little bit.

          1/2 t. vanilla
          2T egg whites
          2 T almond milk


          Instructions:
          Today’s workout is again only 12 minutes long but totally ass kicking. There are three parts and each of them takes 4 minutes to complete. Don’t take too long breaks in between each part. Just take a sip of water and keep going. Our goal is to keep our training short but always super intense.
          Part1
          Set your Interval Timer for 6 rounds of 10 seconds and 30 seconds intervals. You will be doing the Lunge Back/Side Lunge combo for the entire 4 minutes, but don’t forget to switch sides after each interval.
          Starting position – Lunge back
          Jump into the Side Lunge and touch the ground. This is one rep. If you are lunging back with your left leg, then you will be lunging sideways with your right leg. Go for maximum reps during each 30 second interval and switch legs after each round.
          My scores:
          Left leg back – 12, 11, 10
          Right leg back – 11, 11, 11
          Part 2
          Set your timer to count down 4 minutes for you. Your goal is to complete as many sets of the Crazy Cali Exercise Combo as possible during the 4 minutes.
          Lunge back with your left leg.
          Jump and drive the left knee up.
          As you land put your hands on the ground and step back with your left leg so that you create a nice flow.
          Get into plank by stepping back with your right leg.
          Jump your feet appart – don’t drop your hips. Try to keep your body in one line.
          Bend your elbows, bring your body down as close to the ground as possible and then push up.
          Beginners can do the push up off of their knees.
          Jump your feet together and then jump forward into squat and stand up. This is one set. Do as many sets as you can during the 4 minutes. Don’t forget to switch legs after each set. This means that if you lunged back with your left leg in the first set, you will do the lunge with your right leg in the second set.
          I completed 29 sets  of Crazy Cali Exercise Combo during the 4 minutes.
          Part3
          Reset your timer again for 6 rounds and intervals of 10 and 30 seconds. Do as many side crunches as possible during each 30 second interval and switch sides after each round.
          Side Crunch – starting position
          Squeeze your abs and lift your legs off of the ground. Lift your shoulder off of the ground as well and touch the knees with your elbow. Switch sides after each 30 second  interval.
          My scores:
          Left side: 15, 8, 13
          Right side: 12, 10, 12
