Excellent bodyweight workout that requires no equipment and very little room.:
1-.60 Jumping Jacks: Done as fast as possible, but make sure you do full jumping jacks.
2-.15-20 Spiderman Pushups: start off in a regular pushup position and as you go down your knee comes up to your elbow .(right knee to righ elbow, and switch).
3-.Walking Lunges: I take 20 steps total. This is the easiest part of the workout in my opinion.
4.-Spiderman Climb: start off in a pushup position and take your foot up and bring it beside your hand..(your right foot will be beside or as close to your right hand as possible then switch and do on the left)I do a total of 20 of these (10 per side) I really feel these in my abs and obliques.. Remember to keep your abs braced and your hips low, no bums high up in the air.
5.-Wall Squat: Do for 45 seconds. Don't rest your hands upon your legs, since that makes it easier, squat low on this one, no cheating!
6-.Planks: Do for 60 seconds. Tough after doing all these other exercises without rest.
7-.5 Burpees: Make sure and do a full pushup at the bottom and explode as high as pssible at the top into a jump.
8-.High Knees: Done as fast as possible. Do 50 total. You will be dying about 1/2 way through. :sad:
Each exercise is done back-to-back with zero rest in between. You WILL want to rest, :sad: but DON'T, immediately hit the next exercise. After this 8 exercise circuit is done, rest exactly 60 seconds. Do this circuit 2 more times. If you still need a little more cardio do 15 minutes at highest intensity..(really move it!) cardio afterwards to top it off, If you're very new to this type of training, or to cardio in general.. start off with two sets..leave the third until your fitness level improves.
