Hot to trot workout (beating personal best)

Hot to Trot Workout
This workout is made up of 2 parts. The first part of the workout is interval training and will target your core muscles. You will be going through 4 different exercises for the total of 4 minutes.  Set your interval timer for 6 rounds and two intervals. The first interval is 10 seconds and the second interval is 30 seconds long. You will repeat the following sequence twice:
1. Elbow Plank (10 second interval)
2. Reptile (30 second interval – complete maximum reps) 26, 26
3. Elbow Plank (10 second interval)
4. Mountain Climber (30 second interval – complete maximum reps) 29, 20
5. Elbow Plank (10 second interval)
6. Knee Tucks (30 second interval – complete maximum reps) 23, 20


The second part of this workout is a time challenge that is going to really boost your metabolism and your goal is to complete these two exercises as fast as you can.
1. Monkey Push Up and Jump – 25 reps
2. Squat and Twist Jump – 25 reps
Repeat both parts of the workout one more time. I completed the time challenge in 4 minutes and 13 seconds in the first round. My time in the second round was 4 minutes and 46 seconds. This means that the entire workout took me 17 minutes and believe me – it was brutal! Check out the pictures of the exercises below and enjoy your workout.



Time challenge 1= 4 minutes and 33 seconds
Time challenge 2= 5 minutes
