Do This Workout #33

the i-don’t-want-to-repeat-circuits-because-it’s-so-repetitive workout

try to complete this as fast as possible without ruining your form! and when i say “complete this as fast as possible”, i don’t mean that you should not do it properly to get more reps in since you’re not racing against anyone. i mean just don’t play around and try to take as little break as possible!

1. 50 high knees
2. 30 squat hops (in squat position, do little hops. so that means you don’t extend your leg like you do in squat jumps)
3. 10 t-push ups (left + right = 1 rep)
4. 50 russian twists
5. 15 burpees
6. 30 pliés with calf raises
7. 25 triceps dips
8. 30 leg drops
9. 20 tuck jumps
10. 10 lunges (left + right = 1 rep)
11. 30 plank punches
12. 20 v-ups
13. 15 burpee + tuck jump combo (instead of a regular jump in burpee, do a tuck jump!)

enjoy!
