High Five Workout 20 min
2012
This workout is mainly upper body focused with lots of push ups and pull ups. It’s also a great workout to work on your coordination and balance as most of the exercises are done on one leg. This also works your core stabilizing muscles and makes it more fun, and more challenging. This workout is deceptive as it’s 5 reps of each exercise and the push ups are all done as a part of walk outs and burpees, but by the end of it you will have completed 100 push ups!
I found the 1st round hardest to get into, but then they started going by quicker and seemed to get easier. Each round took me approx 4 min, give or take 20 seconds, and the whole workout took 19 minutes and 40 seconds.

My one leg burpees and pull ups felt a bit better overall. But, I still have lots more practice before I am really happy with them. I’m a work in progress!
Exercise Descriptions
Standing with feet hip width apart, squat down and place hands on ground in front of you, jump back on one leg into plank position, with other leg elevated do a push up, jump supporting leg back in and jump up in the air. Alternate legs for each rep.
From standing bend over at hips so hands touch floor, lift one leg so that only one leg is on ground during all movements and walk hands out to plank position, do a push up, then walk arms back in and come back up to standing. Try to stay on one leg as much as possible even in standing position, only touching down for balance as necessary.
Stand just in front of pull up bar and reach up grip onto bar with palms away from you and use mainly your lats and rhomboid muscles to pull yourself up so that chin is above bar, then lower yourself back down.
