Hi, I've currently started IIFYM and have put in that I exercise 3 times a week. This is usually the case, as I usually go to the gym 4 times a week at least, but these weeks I'm working full time for the first time in my life, so i barely have the energy to go and I end up doing home workouts instead.. Anyways, would you consider the following a good enough workout? :)

200 jump rope jumps
200 jumping jacks
200 high knees
200 butt kickers
200 twist jumps
200 boxing punches
100 karate kicks
80 "ice skaters"
40 frog jumps
30 sit ups
30 bridge pulses
2 min. hula hooping

    depends on HR and intensity.
    Depending on your HR; ask yourself, is it a good WO?

    For me that wouldn't be a workout, it would be a trip to the ER.

    Of course yeah. Keep it fast paced and you'll sweaty as hell by the end. If you feel like you can keep going just do it twice or more.

    I think "Good Mornings" are the body weight equivalent of dead-lifts, but the bridges get the back chain as well. Squats, absolutely 110%. Yes to the rest of the list.

    Yes, I'd consider that a workout. I'd also consider it overkill.

    How?! Look at it! Have you actually attempted it yet? If so, did you actually get through it all without quitting (or passing out)? If so, go you, but it's just too much. 200 jumping jacks, 200 this, 200 that. Why? You can get an effective cardio workout in without doing the same thing 200 times. It's just a bit ridiculous. Try HIIT or...anything else!

    How long does that take?

    I reckon I could walk to the gym, do my workout and walk home in the time it took to complete that lot...
