100 BURPEES (aka Squat Thrusts)
I know, I know... The dreaded Burpees, but they are a great cardio exercise that works out practically every muscle in your body!
**If you are new to this exercise or you have bad knees, simply step back into a plank, hold for a beat and stand back up.**
Here is how to do high impact:

…or check out this video to view a whole spectrum of low to high impact.

Are you feeling *really* inspired today? Try adding a jumping jack in between each one.
Be sure to brag when you’re done!
