Homework: Hitchhiker's Guide to Working Out

These are my two stand-by workouts when I'm traveling. I alternate the workouts each day I'm on the road without a gym:

8-minute circuit:
4 rounds.
30 sec. push-up burpees*
30 sec. mountain climbers
30 sec. jumping lunges**
30 sec. jumping jacks

Count your total reps, and try to beat your score every time you perform this workout.

*just like our regular burpees, but you perform a push-up before jumping your feet forward.
**just like our walking lunges except you jump and switch legs in the air instead of taking a step forward.

Or . . .

30 min. interval run:
5 min: easy jog

20 min: 8 x
30 sec. sprint (hard!), 2 min. jog/walk
5 min: easy jog


If you do the homework this week, please post your scores to the comments.
