Optional Friday Bodyweight | Home

 

This entire workout will take about 30 minutes, warm up and coolown included. Feel free to use this as a bonus workout or sub out another day this week when short one time. It’s got quite a bit of plyometrics but everything can be modified by stepping into or pulsing a movement vs jumping.

Warm Up

BODYWEIGHT WARM UP

5 Minutes

22 Minute HIIT

For this workout you will perform one exercise twice before moving to the next movement. Forty seconds of work is challenging. We are working on endurance here. I encourage you to stay in the movement for the entire 40 seconds. That may mean you need to slow down or modify, but keep the resting during the written rest cycles. The last 6 minutes of this workout will be core work. I challenge you to push it for the first 16 minutes. Do not leave anything left in the tank.

I use the free Tabata Stopwatch in the iPhone App Store. In settings put the ‘exercise interval’ to 40 seconds and the ‘rest interval’ to 20 seconds. ‘Number of sets’ 20.
