I took a cardio class at the YMCA. Each week we do the following as a timed exercise. A year ago I couldn't complete it. Yesterday I did it in 3:54 seconds - after I ran a mile warm up. Lots of folks ask for advice, or are concerned that they don't' have money for the gym or home training equipment. Well, if you are like me, you have plenty of weight floating around which you can use to your advantage.
30 jumping jacks
5 pushups
25 high knees
7 burpees
10 crunches
7 squats
5 pushups
10 crunches

7 squats
30 jumping jacks
5 pushups
25 high knees
Do that three times, and you have a good basic workout that you can do once a week.
Do you have something similar? I am hoping to find 2 more so I can keep it mixed up.

Thank you so much for sharing. I having been trying to figure out a workout that I could do at home besides the straight cardo that I have been doing. I had no idea where to start.
I am new to this whole fitness idea. Not that I was a sloth that didn't do anything, I just never took the time to keep track and be accountable for what I was doing. Now, for the first time in my life, I decided that I better. Thank you again for sharing. I will add this in as my week-end workout.

Now did you complete the whole rotation in 3:54?
How much rest (if any at all) do you give yourself between rotations? I might actually try this today!!! Let me know!
Also for the high knees, what is considered 1 rep. Do you count each leg as a rep OR both legs as 1 rep?0 -

No rest, just let it rip. It is designed to be a little easier towards the end to account for gasping for air.
High knees is one pair L-R.0 -

1 Begin in a standing position.
2 Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground.
3 Extend your feet back in one quick motion to assume the front plank position.
4 Do a push up.
5 Return to the squat position in one quick motion.
6 Return to an upright standing position.
