Workout Breakdown: Let's burn some more fat
Instructions: 


This workout will take you only 12 minutes and the only equipment that you will need is your Gymboss Interval Timer.  Set your timer for 2 different intervals and 24 rounds as shown in the picture below. The first interval is 10 seconds long (your rest interval)  and the second interval is 20 seconds long (maximum effort interval). If you want to get the maximum out of your workout, then make sure that you are pushing yourself really hard.
This workout is a circuit of the following 4 exercises which you will repeat 6 times.
1. High Knees
60/60/60/60
2. Mountain Climber
54/56/60/43
3. Side Plank Jump
6/5/5/4/
4. Super Girl Push Up
5/5/4.5/4.5

1. High Knees

This is a great high intensity exercise to start with. Make sure that you are keeping your abs engaged (tight) and that you are lifting your knees really high. Always land on the balls of your feet – not your heels. Give it your maximum effort and try to beat my highest number of reps for this exercise:
Today I was able to do 65 reps during the first 20 second interval. Try to beat this number – YOU CAN DO IT!
Remember that the more energy you put into your workout the better and faster results you can expect.

2. Mountain Climber
Get into the starting position as you can see on the picture above. Jump up and switch your legs. Each jump counts as one rep and your goal is to do maximum amount of reps during the 20 second interval. Always focus on keeping your abs tight.

3. Side Plank Jump

Squat down and put your hand on the floor towards the right side as you can see it on the picture above. Fingers are pointing towards each other.

Jump your feet into a side plank towards the left hand side. Keep your body in one straight line without dropping your hips.

SidePlankJump3.jpg
Jump your feet towards your hands and into a squat. As soon as you land into the squat position jump up with your arms reaching towards the sky. This is one rep. Now do the same thing towards the right side. Switch sides for each rep. I was able to complete only 6 reps in the first round and my performance dropped down to 4 reps in the 3rd round.
4. Super Girl Push Up

Start in a regular plank position, do a push up and then lift your arm and the opposite leg off of the ground at the same time. Keep your body in one straight line without dropping your hips. Get back to the starting position and repeat the exercise – this time lift the other arm and leg. Do as many reps as you can during the 20 second interval.
