4. Just 10 Minutes
10 min AMRAP:
- 3 1/2 burpees
- 5 Mountain Climbers
- 8 Jumping Knee Tucks
Score is the number of reps you do in 10 minutes.
To complete the 1/2 burpees, just don’t extend. Chest and thighs on the floor to start the movement, then push your torso and hips up and kick your legs forward, close to your hands. Keep your hands on the floor at all times.
Mountain climbers will count right + left = one rep, so you’re doing 10 total, 5 each leg. Keep your hips in line with your shoulders and move only your legs. Knees towards elbows.
Mountain climbers are a great bodyweight exercise to add to quick workouts as they are taxing and raise your heart rate quickly.
On the jumping knee tuck, just jump and tuck your knee. The goal is to keep your knees higher than your hips on every rep.
Pace yourself or you're going to stop on the second minute of the workout.
