Hi Everyone!
Let’s start the week off right with a great workout. Today’s workout uses no equipment, but it will have you sweating and working hard. This routine combines plyometric moves and strength moves. The combination will have your muscles working hard to train for speed, balance, agility, strength and endurance.
It’s also a great fat burning routine. Push yourself during each interval to get in as many reps as you can. If you choose to go through this routine for reps, try to keep your rest breaks between each exercise at a minimum. I recommend timing how long it takes to go through the routine, and when you repeat it, try to finish the round more quickly than you did the first time.
If you are going for intervals, keep a notebook close by and jot down the number of reps you get in for each exercise. It’s a great motivator to push hard, and it gives you a goal to beat the second time around. I was feeling tired during this workout, and I was definitely moving more slowly than usual.
Before you start the workout be sure to warm-up for 5-10 minutes. After the workout cool-down for 5-10 minutes. Static stretching should be saved for the cool down. Your warm-up should be moving.

Have fun with today’s workout!
