All Systems Go Workout 12 min
2012
This 12 minute workout goes through 2 rounds of 6 exercises. The 3rd and 6th ones are abs targeted exercises and spaced out to give some recovery (while working abs) between the action ones. I really liked the flow of this workout – time went fast and I felt the effects of it after.
3 of the exercises use a sandbag. I love my sandbag, but if you don’t have one just alternate for another weighted item, use your imagination, or do the exercises with bodyweight, for example: do burpees or another burpee variation instead of the clean & press sandbag burpees and another variation of squats for the around the world squats. My sandbag weighs 18 lbs.

Exercise Descriptions
from standing place left leg out to side keeping it straight and bend right knee going down into a side lunge, touch ground with left fingers. From this position jump and switch doing a side lunge on the other side, so that right leg is straight and knee of left leg is bent and touch ground with fingers of right hand. Continue jumping and each time doing a side lunge on the opposite side. Each lunge and touch down is one rep.
Place sandbag on upper back by holding onto its handles over your shoulders. From standing position take a big step to the side while simultaneously bending torso and bringing upper body down low as if ducking under something. Place your weight on the foot taking the big step to side and bring your other foot in so that you are standing a wide step away from where you started and when your foot comes in bring your body back up to standing. This is one rep. On the following rep take a big step and duck back to your original start position and then continue ducking low and stepping from side to side.
Start in high plank (push up) position, supporting yourself with left arm, place your right hand on medicine ball and roll ball around in a huge circle formation always keeping it within reach. Make 3 circles and then roll it towards left hand and switch, this time supporting with right arm and using left hand to roll medicine ball around in circles. Each circle is one rep.
Around the World Squats with Sandbag
Start with legs shoulder width apart and sandbag held behind at upper back. Squat and then swing one arm overhead bringing sandbag around to front and then the other arm over to bring it back into starting position, so that the sandbag has just gone 360 degrees around your head. This is one rep. Change directions for each rep, going back and forth from clockwise to counter clockwise.
Clean and Press Burpee with Sandbag
With hands on sandbag jump or step back into push up position and do a pushup, then jump or step feet back in and do a clean and press with sandbag: pick up sandbag by its 2 horizontal side handles, bring it up to hip level straightening your body and flipping it so it’s up on top of your hands over knuckles and press it up towards ceiling, and then reverse movements bringing it back down to ground. This is one rep.
3 Point Ab Choppers with Medicine ball
Lying with back flat on ground, with knees bent and feet on ground and with arms outstretched behind head and hands holding onto medicine ball, sit up and bring ball high overhead and down to the right side to ground, keeping arms outstretched throughout movement. Then reverse movement bringing torso back to ground and ball back overhead. This is one rep. On the next rep bring ball down between legs towards ground and for the third rep bring down ball to the left side, continue alternating bringing ball down to these 3 points.
Have a great workout!!
