Pass the ball from your hands to your feet by lifting your shoulder blades and your legs off of the ground. Keep your abs tight and your lower back pressed into the mat. Do as many reps as you can during the 25 second interval.


When you hear the beep (the interval timer) pass the ball to your feet and roll over on to your belly. You have only 5 seconds to do this so move fast.


Clasp your hand behind your head and do as many lifts as you can during the next 25 second interval. Try to lift the ball with your feet as high as possible while lifting your chest at the same time.
After the beep turn over on your back again (remember you have only 5 seconds) and continue until your timer sais it’s over. There are 12 rounds total.
