Marine Corps Workout

Instructions:
This workout has 3 parts and it will be at least 20 minutes long. It depends how fast you can be with the time challenge. I completed this routine in 26 minutes and 2 seconds.

The first part is 4 minute long interval training. Set your timer for 8 rounds and two intervals – 10 seconds and 20 seconds. You will be doing Sandbag Squats and Plank Jump Push Ups. It will look like this:
10 seconds of rest – beep!
Sandbag Squat (sandbag on your right shoulder) and go for maximum reps during the 20 seconds – beep!
10 seconds of rest – beep!
Plank Jump Push Up – beep!
10 seconds of rest – beep!
Sandbag Squat (sandbag on your left shoudler) go for max. reps during the 20 second interval – beep!
Plank Jump Push Up – beep!
Repeat the whole thing one more time – beep! – done.

The second part is a time challenge and you will be doing 10 Pendulums – Roll Over – 1 Walking Push Up – 10 Elbow Plank Jumps (side to side with your feet together) – Roll Over – 1 Walking Push Up – 10 Pendulums
This is one set.
Complete 5 sets as fast as you can. You will have to set your interval timer as a stop watch for this challenge.

The third Part is another 4 minutes of interval training. Set your timer exactly the way you set it for Part 1. You will be doing Sandbag Mini Squats and Super Girl Push Ups.
REPEAT ALL 3 PARTS ONE MORE TIME!
