This is a wonderfully effective (and simple) little number that will make your legs feel like jelly and your lungs burn. It's especially useful for those of you who enjoy parkour or fighting. Best part, you don't need a single piece of equipment! Just find yourself a grassy field (if you can't find enough grass use a dirt trail or road. If nothing else, find a good stretch of blacktop. Avoid concrete because it's the worst on your joints).
The Workout:
10 Rounds:
10 Jump Squats (go for height, no sissy little hops)
Sprint 50 Meters (approximate distance if you can't measure it)
Rest period is the walk back to the start.
To get the maximum benefit from this workout, make sure not to take too long to walk back to the start. This isn't a slow jaunt. Move with a sense of purpose. We're shooting for more than conditioning in very short bursts, so if you take too long to recover you'll lose the aerobic benefits.
Be careful on your last sets...you may have trouble sticking the landing. If that happens, take a few seconds to rest and go right back at it.
Train smart!
