The One That Got Away Workout-4 minutes


  • MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS???
  • SPLIT LUNGES???
  • PLANK BUTT SQUEEZE???
  • PLANK50secs
  • REPTILE PUSHUPS???
There are two parts to this workout. The first part is a 4 Minute Tabata style interval. Set your interval timer for 8 rounds of 20/10. The 20 seconds is your work interval and you will be pushing the whole 20 seconds at your absolute max effort. Use the 10 seconds to get set and into position for the next round. At the end of the 4 minutes you should be toast. If you feel like this was a “warm up” then guess what – you didn’t push to your max. Bad, bad BodyRocker!!!! :) Move back and forth between the two exercises until your timer beeps and releases you from the sweet, sweet torture.
The “bonus” is a 3 minute interval. Re-set your timer for 3 rounds of 50/10. You guessed it – the 50 second interval is your max effort time. Move between the exercises and keep in mind that this whole workout from top to bottom including the bonus is just 7 minutes long. Honestly a proper shower takes longer – even if you skip the conditioner :) If you can’t handle the reptile pushups then blast away some regular pushups. If you are a beginner crack off some pushups from your knees. Make this workout work for you!
