by Jess

Equipment needed: stopwatch

Time needed: 20 minutes (including a quick warm-up and post workout stretch)

Directions: After a quick warm-up of jogging in place, climbing stairs or jumping jacks, start your workout by doing 30  seconds of the first exercise. Recover for 15 seconds and then move on to exercise number two. Continue in this manner until you’ve completed all five exercises. Once you’ve completed all five exercises repeat the sequence two more times (three sets in total). After you’ve completed all three rounds finish up with a quick stretch.

Exercise #1: Mountain Climbers:

Exercise #2: Power Plie’ Squats

Exercise #3: Burpee’s with high knees

Exercise #4: Push-ups

    I think you meant 15 seconds of recovery, not 15 minutes :)
