Exercise: Furious Five

This is a new routine that you will use an interval timer with. Again I recommend http://www.beach-fitness.com/tabata/ . This routine is only 15 minutes long. If you are dead set on a 30 minute session feel free to just double up (or even triple up) the sets. During the 15 minutes I burned 233 calories. Please note burning calories is different for everyone depending on weight. Have fun!! I will post my reps at the end of the post!!

Set your interval timers for 15 rounds, "on" 50 seconds and "off" 10 seconds......Ding, Ding!! GO!
(I will explain the exercises in the video)

1. Squat Jumps staying as low as you can
2. Overhead Press Burpee with Medicine Ball or dumbbell
3. Mountain Climbers on Medicine Ball or floor
4. Jumping Lunges
5. Pointer Plank
My reps per 50 second interval
1 Squats: 32, 25, 24
2 Burpees: 8, 7, 7
3 Mountain Climbers: 80, 72, 55 (ugh!)
4 Jump Lunges: 26, 22, 23
5 Pointer Planks: about 12 each side (didn't count well during these)
